Delhi launches tech-driven road modernisation plan

The Delhi government has launched a technology-driven road modernisation and maintenance programme aimed at improving road quality and reducing recurring infrastructure issues.

The initiative is being implemented in partnership with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Central Road Research Institute (CSIR-CRRI) and the School of Planning and Architecture.

Officials said the programme includes technology-based monitoring systems, improved drainage infrastructure, dust-control measures and green-belt development, reported The Economic Times.

Authorities indicated that the initiative is intended to improve road conditions and address waterlogging-related challenges.

The programme will introduce scientific methods for road construction, monitoring and maintenance across the capital.

Officials said technology-enabled monitoring will help identify maintenance requirements and improve long-term asset management.

The initiative forms part of broader efforts to modernise urban infrastructure and improve mobility across Delhi.
