Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has sought ₹100 crore from the Union government for the first phase of the revised PM-UDAY scheme. The request is meant to support regularisation of property rights in 1,511 unauthorised colonies in Delhi.
The proposal covers a DRISHTI-based modern land survey and mapping system, district-level PM-UDAY cells, and a public awareness and outreach campaign. The revised regulations were notified on 6 April 2026 and provide a legal framework for granting property rights to residents of unauthorised colonies.
Background and earlier position
PM-UDAY addresses Delhi’s long-standing problem of unauthorised colonies, where residents have often lacked clear legal title despite long-term settlement. The Centre and Delhi government had earlier announced a push to regularise 1,511 out of 1,731 unauthorised colonies on an as-is, where-is basis without the requirement of approved layout plans.
The Revenue Department has been designated the nodal agency. It will set up PM-UDAY cells in all 13 districts, and each cell will be headed by an Additional District Magistrate.
