Rekha Gupta is currently serving as the 9th Chief Minister of Delhi, the capital of the country. Her tenure marks a historic moment, as it signifies the Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power in the national capital after nearly three decades. Her elevation to this position represents the culmination of more than three decades of unwavering commitment to public service and dedicated political engagement at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels.
As Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta’s governance philosophy is closely aligned with the collective vision of Team Modi and is driven by a clear mission to make Delhi healthier, better educated, and more equitable. She firmly believes that the city must receive the rights, opportunities, and development it has long been denied. Her approach to leadership is rooted in tireless work, honesty in intent, and focus on tangible outcomes, reflecting her conviction that real development is achieved through consistent action on the ground rather than rhetoric or empty promises.
Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta announced a major rationalisation of water and sewer Infrastructure Charges (IFC), shifting from area-based to actual water demand-based calculations, with redevelopment projects where water demand does not increase fully exempt from IFC providing direct financial relief worth several lakh rupees to residents, housing units, institutions and industries across Delhi. Properties in E and F category colonies will receive a 50% concession, while G and H category colonies will get up to 70% relief. Residential units of 50 square metres or less on plots larger than 200 square metres will receive an additional 50% concession, while religious institutions and charitable organisations registered under Section 12AB will also be eligible for an additional 50% concession. Institutions adopting Zero Liquid Discharge systems will receive up to 50% concession in sewer IFC, subject to operational compliance with CPCB and DPCC standards. Water Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh said the previous AAP government had turned IFC into an instrument of harassment, inflating charges six to seven times through complex area-based calculations that forced ordinary families to pay ₹15–20 lakh or more. Under the revised policy, such cases have been reduced to approximately ₹2–3 lakh, with plots up to 200 square metres remaining fully exempt delivering on the government's commitment to honest, transparent and citizen-friendly governance.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta, the Delhi Cabinet has approved a major expansion of ration card eligibility, raising the annual income limit from ₹1.2 lakh to ₹2.5 lakh under the Public Distribution System ensuring that lakhs of deserving families previously excluded due to the lower income threshold can now access subsidised ration. Food and Supplies Minister Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that even an annual income of ₹1 lakh is below the level of minimum wages for a family in today's times, making the revision a necessary and overdue step towards genuine food security. The Cabinet also approved the introduction of a CBDC-based smart ration distribution system, under which food subsidy amounts will be directly deposited into beneficiaries' CBDC wallets, enabling them to purchase ration from authorised Fair Price Shops through Aadhaar-authenticated digital transactions. The CBDC-enabled model is designed to eliminate leakages, enhance transparency, provide real-time visibility of subsidy entitlements and empower beneficiaries with greater flexibility and dignity in accessing food supplies reaffirming CM Rekha Gupta's commitment to strengthening welfare delivery for every economically challenged family in Delhi.

Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta launched development projects worth approximately ₹100 crore in the Dwarka Assembly constituency, covering repair and construction of roads, renovation of chaupals, drainage strengthening, park beautification, sewer pipeline laying, transformer upgradation and replacement of old electricity cables across the area. CM Rekha Gupta said that under PM Narendra Modi's guidance, the Delhi government is delivering basic facilities to every colony and every citizen, noting that for the first time, budget has been provided on such a large scale for development works across every Assembly constituency. She highlighted the ₹6,200 crore metro project under Phase-5 for Dwarka, made possible after the government released ₹10,000 crore for metro expansion reversing years of stalled projects under previous governments. The Chief Minister reaffirmed that double-engine governance has fast-tracked resolution of long-pending issues including unauthorised colony regularisation, permanent housing for slum dwellers, and improvement of hospitals and schools. Upon completion of these projects, CM Gupta said residents of Dwarka will see significant relief from waterlogging, damaged roads, sewer overflow and power disruptions moving decisively towards a cleaner, safer and more modern Delhi.
