Delhi Budget 2025–26: Where the Money Goes Across Key Departments
From hospitals to highways, budget maps out funding across key departments
New Delhi: Beyond the headline ₹1 lakh crore figure, the Delhi Budget 2025–26 reveals a detailed roadmap of how funds are distributed across departments shaping everyday life in the capital.
A significant portion of the budget is directed towards social and community services, with education, healthcare, and social welfare receiving the lion’s share. Public health systems, hospitals, and welfare schemes continue to dominate spending priorities, reflecting the government’s focus on human development.
Transport emerges as another major beneficiary. With massive allocations for roads, bridges, and public transport systems, the government is aiming to ease congestion and improve connectivity across the city. Investments in bus services and infrastructure upgrades indicate a push toward strengthening urban mobility.
The energy sector also sees substantial funding, particularly for power supply and renewable energy initiatives. This highlights Delhi’s growing demand for reliable electricity and its gradual shift toward sustainable energy solutions.
Urban development and water supply projects form another key pillar. Large investments are planned for housing, sanitation, and water infrastructure, addressing challenges of rapid urbanisation and population growth.
At the same time, sectors like agriculture, rural development, and industry receive comparatively smaller allocations, underlining Delhi’s identity as a predominantly urban economy.
Overall, the budget paints a clear picture: Delhi is prioritising people-centric services and urban infrastructure over traditional sectors. While this aligns with the city’s needs, the effectiveness of these allocations will ultimately depend on implementation and timely delivery.
