flag Delhi offers 96% relief to unauthorized water users who regularize, part of reforms to modernize water systems and improve service.

flag Delhi Minister Parvesh Verma announced a 96% relief for residents with unauthorized water connections who regularize them, eliminating a 5% compound interest fee. flag The move is part of two new Delhi Jal Board (DJB) initiatives aimed at modernizing aging water and sewer infrastructure, improving river health—especially the Yamuna—and reducing non-revenue water, currently 50–52%. flag The DJB is also launching a 'One Zone, One Operator' policy, dividing Delhi into eight service zones managed by private operators responsible for supply, billing, repairs, and sewerage. flag While the DJB retains control over water sourcing and bulk distribution, the reform aims to boost accountability, ensure round-the-clock supply, and make the board financially sustainable amid ongoing fiscal challenges.
