Delhi is set to finish a Rs 193‑crore modern poultry market in Ghazipur by 31 December 2026. Spread over nearly 15 acres, the hub will accommodate 100 wholesale traders and 120 poultry‑processing units, providing a streamlined supply chain for the capital’s poultry demand.
The government also reviewed plans for a modern flower market within the Integrated Freight Complex at Ghazipur. Ten acres of land acquired from the DDA in 2001 will be developed in phases, aiming to give the city’s flower trade a contemporary infrastructure alongside existing agricultural facilities.
To combat chronic water‑logging at the Ghazipur Fruit, Vegetable and Flower Market, a 200‑metre bypass drainage pipeline is under construction at a cost of Rs 17 lakh. Regular drives to remove stray animals from the premises are also underway to improve sanitation.
In Narela, two additional steel sheds are proposed for the grain market at an estimated cost of around Rs 11 crore, with a target completion date of July 2027. These sheds will provide farmers with secure, hygienic storage space, reducing post‑harvest losses.
