New Delhi. In a major push towards strengthening civic infrastructure and public health facilities, the Delhi government on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). The partnership aims to enhance the capital’s flyover maintenance, healthcare systems, water accessibility and modernise public transport hubs.

Delhiites have welcomed the government’s accelerated focus on development, particularly its priority towards upgrading hospitals to ensure citizens receive world-class, modern healthcare facilities.

Five key flyovers to get IOCL care
Under the agreement, IOCL will adopt and maintain five major flyovers—IIT Delhi, Panchsheel, Punjabi Bagh, Chirag Delhi and Mukarba Chowk—along with a 500-metre stretch of Aurobindo Marg. The beautification and repair works, estimated at ₹20 crore, will be executed over the next three years in collaboration with the Public Works Department (PWD).

Healthcare receives a major boost
As part of its CSR initiative, IOCL will provide advanced medical equipment worth ₹5 crore to Lok Nayak Hospital (LNJP) and Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI). LNJP will receive a cutting-edge 256-slice CT scanner, while DSCI will be equipped with a high-end linear accelerator and a 3-Tesla MRI machine—significantly improving cancer diagnosis and treatment capabilities.

Highlighting the government’s priority, officials said the initiative reflects Delhi’s commitment to expanding modern, upgraded hospital infrastructure for the public.
“Delhi government is rapidly accelerating development, especially in the health sector. Strengthening hospitals is our top priority so that every citizen can access advanced medical care,” an official said.
Residents across the city have also applauded the government’s renewed emphasis on healthcare.

Safe water access to improve with modern ATMs
IOCL will install eight water ATMs with five-stage filtration systems, each capable of dispensing 2,000 litres of clean water per hour. The ₹3-crore project includes two years of real-time quality monitoring and automated dispensing to minimise wastage.

Transport infrastructure set for modernisation
In addition, IOCL will establish advanced energy hubs across three DTC depots, equipped with alternative fuel stations, EV charging bays, upgraded lighting, automated fuel management and customer service kiosks. IOCL will also co-brand 250 DTC electric buses.

PWD minister Parvesh Verma said the agreement would “accelerate beautification efforts, expand clean water access and modernise Delhi’s transport ecosystem.”

Cabinet minister Pankaj Kumar Singh added that the move aligns with the government’s vision of a “cleaner, well-organised and citizen-friendly capital.”

With major upgrades planned across flyovers, hospitals, water systems and transportation, this partnership marks a significant step in Delhi’s journey towards a more modern, sustainable and people-centric urban experience.
