The idea of the ambitious revamp of Chandni Chowk first came up in 2004. In 2008, the then Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, set up the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC) but the plan did not take off till 2018 -- when Delhi's Deputy CM Manish Sisodia launched the project.
A 1.3-km stretch between the Red Fort and the Fatehpuri Masjid is being turned into a car-free zone, and beautified keeping the Mughal-era architectural style in mind. The mesh of overhead wires has gone underground, fire hydrants are being set up, red sandstone seats being placed, and toilets being built. At least 175 red sandstone planters, along with a row of bollards, will be placed to mimic the Mughal architectural aesthetic, and both sides of the stretch will be lined with 250 Moulsari trees.

LED street lighting is also a part of the plan. The Delhi Jal Board has done rehabilitation work of the ancient sewer line that runs underground. The stretch will be accessible to the differently-abled as well. Non-motorised vehicles such as rickshaws will ply on the stretch, and by November, it will be open to the public, said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday as he inspected the project site, along with Urban Development Minister Satyendar Jain. As of now, beautification of a 400-metre stretch of the 1.3-km is complete, but work by DJB and BSES is being finished.
