**New Delhi, March 12, 2025** – The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) held its first council meeting since the Delhi Assembly elections on Tuesday, outlining a series of significant initiatives focused on improving infrastructure and sustainability. Key announcements include a comprehensive Summer Action Plan, a major push towards 100% solar energy adoption by 2026, and enhanced efforts to mitigate waterlogging.
The meeting saw the swearing-in of three new NDMC members. The council approved the installation of 9,000 new water connections within six months, benefiting an estimated 47,000 residents. To combat waterlogging, the NDMC plans to acquire new machinery and expand its rainwater harvesting systems.
A key focus is the transition to solar energy. NDMC Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal announced that the council will offer subsidies matching those provided by the central government to incentivize solar panel installation. The aim is to achieve complete solar energy self-sufficiency by 2026, with plans to install panels on every rooftop within the NDMC area.
Further improvements include the expansion of night sweeping services to five locations, following a successful trial in Khan Market. The NDMC also committed to stricter enforcement of contractual obligations, forming a committee to identify and address any shortcomings. Finally, the council pledged to address employee concerns in every future meeting. The ambitious plans signal a proactive approach to enhancing the quality of life for residents of New Delhi.
