Delhi Aims to Connect All Households to Sewage Network by 2028 Amid Infrastructure Gaps
Nearly 41.3% of Delhi's four million households, primarily in unauthorised colonies and slum clusters, lack sewer connections, according to Delhi Jal Board data. About 2.35 million homes are connected to the sewage network, which includes 37 treatment plants with a 3,702 MLD capacity. Expanding infrastructure faces challenges in floodplains, forest areas, and zones requiring multi-agency permissions. The government aims to connect all households by 2028 to support the Yamuna river clean-up efforts.
