Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced an allocation of Rs 5,100 crore for the Mahila Samridhi Yojana in the first budget of her government. The scheme will provide a monthly allowance of Rs 2,500 to eligible women in the national capital.
CM Gupta presented the Delhi Budget in the assembly today, announcing an outlay of Rs 1 lakh crore for FY26. This marks a significant 31.5% increase from the previous year with a key focus on infrastructure development and healthcare.
The Delhi government has doubled its capital expenditure for the 2025-26 financial year to Rs 28,000 crore, aiming to enhance roads, drainage systems, sewerage, and education facilities in the national capital.
“This time, a historic budget of Rs 1 lakh crore is being tabled for 2025-26, which is 31.5% more than the last budget,” said CM Gupta while presenting the budget on the second day of the Assembly session.
The Mahila Samriddhi Yojana was a key election promise of the Bhartiya Janata Party in the state assembly election in the national capital earlier this year. The BJP made a comeback to power in Delhi following a hiatus of nearly three decades.
