Delhi: Chandni Chowk phase 2, to revamp more areas, awaits budget approval

Phase 2 of Chandni Chowk’s redevelopment plan, which includes a revamp of Netaji Shubhash Marg, six roads adjoining Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid Road, and facade work in Chandni Chowk, is now in the pipeline.

Officials said consultants have started bidding, and a consultant will be appointed once the budget proposal is approved by the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC).

Once the consultant is appointed, it will take around six months for consultancy work and then three months for the tender process, before the work on the project can begin, said officials.

Work on these roads will be along similar lines of Chandni Chowk’s main stretch and will be freed of overhead wires. Other facilities will be redesigned, and roads will be made more pedestrian friendly.
