1. Najafgarh Drain Roadway Redevelopment, Delhi


Source:&nbsp;Proposal for Najafgarh Waterway from Vision for Delhi (West Zone)

A new 60.77 km long road with a green mobility corridor is being planned alongside a city drain. This drain is not only a crucial part of flood management today, but once this Najafgarh drain was part of the Sahibi River, originating from Rajasthan. Over the course of time, with several human interventions to manage floods, the ecosystem of the stream, lakes, and wetlands around Najafgarh Jheel was disturbed. While pollution and wastewater have shrunk crucial biodiversity around the waterway.

This project encompasses measures for flood management, pathways for walking and cycling, water taxi services, DEWATS systems, and public spaces like Dilli Haat and parks. Key sites, such as the Hast Minar and Adhyapak Greens, are being revitalised to serve as vibrant cultural and recreational hubs, promoting a strong and eco-conscious urban environment. Cleaning operations started in 2022, and the project budget was announced in May 2025 and is estimated to finish by 2027.&nbsp;
