India Creates Two Departments to Separate Delhi-NCR and National Urban Development
The Indian government has reorganized the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs into two separate departments: the Department of Capital Development and the Department of Urban Development. The former will focus on Delhi-NCR-specific functions, including government properties, urban planning, and development projects like Central Vista. The latter will handle national urban policies, housing schemes, sanitation, climate adaptation, and urban poverty programs. This restructuring aims to provide dedicated attention to the distinct needs of the National Capital Region and broader urban development across India.
