Delhi Plans New Wholesale Market
The Delhi government is planning to build a new wholesale market for fruits and vegetables in Tikri Khampur.
This market will be on 70.62 acres of land and will have modern facilities.
The goal is to reduce crowding at the Azadpur Mandi, which is currently very busy.
The project will be done with help from private companies, so the government doesn't have to spend money.
A consultant will help plan the market, including how much it will cost and how to make money from it.
This project has been delayed for many years but is now being revived.
Delhi government plans a new wholesale fruit and vegetable market in Tikri Khampur.
The market will be built on 70.62 acres of land under a public-private partnership model.
The project aims to decongest the Azadpur Mandi, Asia's largest fruit and vegetable market.
A consultant will be hired to handle market analysis, financial planning, and revenue generation.
The Azadpur Mandi, currently on 76 acres, has become heavily congested due to increased trade activity.
