Delhi PWD Breaks Free: Own Engineering Cadre to Speed Up Projects
The Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) is set to establish its own dedicated engineering cadre, ending its long-standing reliance on the Central Public Works Department (CPWD). This significant move, announced on July 11, 2025, aims to drastically improve accountability and efficiency in the city’s infrastructure development.
By creating its own workforce, the Delhi PWD expects better project continuity and faster decision-making. Currently, reliance on the CPWD often leads to delays and bureaucratic hurdles.
This self-sufficiency will allow for more streamlined project management, leading to quicker completion of vital infrastructure projects across the capital. The move is expected to significantly benefit Delhi’s burgeoning infrastructure needs.
The shift promises a more responsive and accountable system, directly impacting the lives of Delhiites. Faster project execution will translate to improved roads, better public amenities, and a more efficient city overall. This development holds considerable promise for Delhi’s future infrastructure landscape.
