The Delhi government will allocate up to ₹2 crore to restore and preserve heritage sites, providing 90% funding for Category‑A monuments and full funding for government‑run institutions.
The Delhi administration announced a new financial package aimed at safeguarding the city’s historic structures. Under the scheme, the government will make available up to ₹2 crore to support the renovation and upkeep of heritage monuments classified as Category‑A.
Funding will cover 90% of the costs for private or voluntary bodies that manage Category‑A sites, while projects run by government agencies will receive 100% of the required budget. The allocation is intended to accelerate restoration work that has stalled due to limited resources.
Officials indicated that the initiative will help preserve Delhi’s architectural legacy, boost cultural tourism, and create skilled jobs in conservation. The scheme is expected to be operational from the upcoming fiscal quarter, with applications to be submitted through the municipal heritage department.
