The Delhi government has entered into a partnership with private entities to transform the spaces beneath six major flyovers into vibrant green zones. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on Monday, April 6, 2026, to initiate this redevelopment under the Adopt a Flyover policy. This project will be executed through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, ensuring the government does not incur direct costs for these beautification efforts.
Which flyovers are being redeveloped and what facilities will be provided?
The initiative targets several key locations across the city to turn neglected areas into functional public spaces. These include flyovers at Apsara Border and Mayur Vihar Phase-1 in East Delhi, Netaji Subhash Place in Northwest Delhi, and central stretches like the Oberoi and Lodhi flyovers. At Mangi Setu near the Red Fort, a special Ramayana-themed visual journey will be created through detailed murals. The following facilities will be developed at these sites:
- Landscaped green areas and artistic wall paintings
- Seating arrangements and recreational zones
- Indoor and outdoor game facilities for the public
- Modern sanitation systems and improved lighting
- Safe civic amenities for pedestrians and local residents
Who are the key partners and what are the official rules?
The project operates under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model where private companies handle the aesthetics and daily maintenance. Key participants include Dalmia Bharat Limited, Godrej Industries Group, and EaseMyTrip Foundation. While these companies are allowed limited advertising rights on the structures they maintain, the structural repair of the flyovers remains the responsibility of the Public Works Department (PWD).
| Entity Name | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| PWD Delhi | Structural repair and bridge maintenance |
| Private Partners | Landscaping, beautification, and amenities |

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta mentioned that the government is working closely with the private sector to speed up public welfare projects. This initiative follows similar past collaborations with organizations like Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Vedanta, and the GMR Group, which previously undertook a three-year project worth 6 crore rupees in December 2025.
