Delhi Daily Current Affairs: Key Policy, Infrastructure, and Environmental Updates

• Mega Infrastructure: Rs 12,000-Crore Elevated Ring Road Approved
  The Government of Delhi has approved the first phase of the massive Rs 12,000-crore Elevated Ring Road project. Aimed at drastically reducing traffic congestion across the National Capital Territory, this phase also includes the construction of two new bridges over the Yamuna River to facilitate smoother transit.
• Clean Energy Transition: Proposed Petrol Bike Phase-Out by April 2028
  Under its progressive Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy, the Delhi government is planning a transition timeline that aims to permit no new petrol-powered motorcycles or two-wheelers for registration in Delhi starting from April 2028. This regulatory push is intended to fast-track the adoption of zero-emission electric two-wheelers.
• Pollution Control: Mandatory PUCC for Fuel Purchase
  In preparation for the seasonal degradation of meteorological conditions, the Delhi administration has announced its comprehensive Winter Air Quality Plan. A key regulatory measure of this plan makes a valid Pollution Under Control Certificate (PUCC) strictly mandatory for purchasing fuel at petrol pumps across the capital.
• Public Grievance and Service Delivery: Jan Suvidha Kendras
  Demonstrating progress in public service delivery, more than 43,000 residents have successfully visited and utilized the Delhi government’s Jan Suvidha Kendras (Public Facilitation Centers). These centers serve as localized hubs for accessing essential citizen-centric schemes and administrative services.
• Social Welfare: Welfare Scheme Awareness Campaign
  The Delhi government has launched an intensive public outreach campaign to raise awareness about its various state-run welfare schemes. While the campaign has successfully extended direct relief to numerous eligible citizens, it has also highlighted areas of dejection and exclusion among certain groups, underscoring the ongoing challenge of last-mile administrative delivery.

These policy measures reflect Delhi's dual focus on massive capital expenditure for transit infrastructure and aggressive, technology-led environmental governance to curb winter pollution. For competitive examinations like UPSC, SSC, and State Commissions, key takeaways include the specific Rs 12,000-crore infrastructure budget, the April 2028 EV policy target, and the administrative mechanisms of the Jan Suvidha Kendras and PUCC mandates.
