Delhi Government Launches e-KYC Drive and Approves Water Infrastructure Projects
The Delhi government has launched a six-month e-KYC drive to regularise over 30 lakh unbilled water consumers, aiming to integrate them into the Delhi Jal Board's billing system. Concurrently, it approved projects to enhance water and sewage infrastructure, including 15 new decentralised sewage treatment plants (DSTPs) and 250 water ATMs. These initiatives seek to increase sewage treatment capacity from 814 to 1,041 million gallons per day by 2028, improve water storage at Wazirabad pond, and expand sewer networks across multiple colonies and villages to address pollution and supply challenges.
