A senior official of the South Delhi Municipal Corporation stated that the expansion will require at least 110 million to 120 million rupees, and the citizen group does not have the funds for the project. “The first phase of the project was implemented in accordance with the instructions of the Supreme Court and the Environmental Pollution (Prevention and Control) Administration (EPCA), using 1.2 billion rupees collected as environmental compensation fees (ECC). The Air Quality Management Committee directed implementation The second phase of the project, but there is no clear source of funding.” An SDMC official who asked not to be named said.
