Cabinet approves One Network, Smarter Traffic: Delhi Moves to Real-Time Traffic Management

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) project for Delhi, implemented by Delhi Police at an estimated cost of Rs. 1,789.52 crore. Covering 42 traffic corridors in three phases over 24 months, the project deploys AI-enabled adaptive traffic signals, automated enforcement, and real-time traffic information systems to improve urban mobility, safety, and traffic management in the National Capital. The initiative aims to address challenges arising from high vehicular growth exceeding road infrastructure expansion by shifting from manual regulation to dynamic, technology-driven traffic management, emergency vehicle prioritization, and integrated command-and-control operations.
