For the financial year 2026-27, a budget of Rs. 829.23 crore has been earmarked through the Authority for development works in Panchkula. Of this, around Rs. 812.60 crore will be spent on capital works.

He said that the State Government’s objective is not merely to expand cities, but to provide citizens with better, safer, cleaner and modern urban amenities. Along with strengthening urban infrastructure, the Government is laying special emphasis on drainage, sewerage, roads, green spaces, cleanliness and modern urban management.
*Old Drainage System to be Modernised*
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that Panchkula’s nearly 45-year-old drainage system is being strengthened with modern technology to provide a permanent solution to the problem of waterlogging in urban areas. Under a pilot project, rehabilitation of a 900-mm diameter stormwater drain from Geeta Chowk to Town Park has been successfully completed at a cost of around Rs. 5.50 crore using Machine Wound Spiral Lining technology.
Following this, work to strengthen the drainage system from Town Park to Singh Nala Choe has been initiated at a cost of around Rs. 38.87 crore.
*Special Emphasis on Water Conservation and Environment*The Chief Minister said that environmental conservation, along with development, is also a priority of the Government. A budgetary provision of Rs. 41.83 crore has been made for urban green spaces and environment-related works in Panchkula. Expansion of green spaces, maintenance of parks and reuse of water are being promoted in the city.
Treated water from the proposed Sewage Treatment Plants in different parts of Panchkula will be used in parks and green belts. Administrative approval of Rs. 24.60 crore has already been accorded for a proposed 10 MLD capacity STP in Sector-7C, while administrative approval of Rs. 28.49 crore has been accorded for a proposed 6 MLD capacity STP in Sector-5C.
*Clean and Beautiful Cities a Priority of the Government*
The Chief Minister said that the beauty of cities is determined not merely by roads and buildings, but also by a clean environment, well-maintained parks and civic amenities. Fourteen roundabouts in Panchkula have been beautified. Seasonal plants have been planted along major roads and roundabouts, while flower beds have also been developed.
He said that a robust road network, better traffic management and quality urban amenities are also priorities of the Government. Special maintenance and improvement works on various roads in Panchkula have been completed, while work on several important projects is in progress.
The Chief Minister said that the Government is developing cities not only according to present requirements but also keeping future needs in view. In this direction, a proposal for setting up a modern technology-based Integrated Command and Control Centre is also being taken forward to make monitoring of urban services and administrative systems more effective. The estimated cost of the project is around Rs. 208 crore.
*World-Class Sports Facilities Being Developed*
The Chief Minister said that sports facilities are also an important component of basic urban infrastructure in modern cities. A world-class shooting sports complex is being developed in Sector-32, Panchkula. Administrative approval of Rs. 173.48 crore had been accorded for the project, while after negotiations, a tender amount of around Rs. 109.80 crore has been approved. Work on the project commenced on June 16, 2026, and it is targeted for completion within 24 months.
Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the State Government’s development policy is centred on ‘citizen convenience, quality infrastructure and future-ready cities’. Every project announced by the Government is being regularly reviewed to ensure that development works do not remain confined to paper, but deliver tangible benefits to citizens.
He directed the officers to ensure that there is no compromise on quality, transparency and timely execution of urban development projects and that citizens’ convenience is accorded the highest priority.

Haryana has met one key milestone by resolving all Right of Way applications pending as of March 31, 2026, earning an incentive of up to ₹22.5 crore.
The ₹150-crore reform package includes ₹45 crore for RoW order implementation, ₹22.5 crore for the state RoW portal, up to ₹22.5 crore for clearing the application backlog, ₹7.5 crore for reducing average disposal time to 45 days or less, ₹37.5 crore for BharatNet compliance, and ₹15 crore for meeting power-sector requirements.
The Chief Secretary reviewed timelines for the remaining reforms and emphasized coordinated action among departments and field authorities to ensure smooth telecom infrastructure rollout and achievement of milestones.

The meeting also focused on reducing the average disposal time for new RoW applications to 45 days or less, another reform milestone carrying an incentive of ₹7.5 crore.

Haryana has 1,204 registered departmental users, and the committee discussed expanding its use across departments, district administrations, and field offices.
The committee considered supporting the next phase of 5G infrastructure, including small cells, rooftop sites, poles, and fibre on suitable government buildings and street furniture, in line with the RoW framework.
Regarding green energy, the meeting reviewed installing smart meters on telecom tower connections to enable providers to access green energy. Smart meters are also required at Gram Panchayats under the Amended BharatNet Programme, allowing shared infrastructure for renewable energy access and BharatNet electricity billing.
