Delhi’s skyline may be steel and glass, but tomorrow, Shanti Path Lawns steal the show as NDMC inaugurates the Annual Tulip Festival-2026. Delayed briefly for security, this event heralds a week of petal-powered joy for the national capital.
Kicking things off is the Tulip Walk from Sudan Embassy lawns, featuring a kaleidoscope of tulips and seasonal flowers curated by NDMC’s green team. It’s set to be a magnet for picnickers, photographers, and plant aficionados seeking a breath of fresh air.
The shift from February 17 accommodated the AI summit’s needs. Chahal’s budget reveal painted a vivid picture: over 5.5 lakh tulips across neighborhoods, prioritizing ‘Make in India’ bulbs from Himachal Pradesh’s heartland.
Building on last year’s triumph—selling potted tulips at hotspots like Lodhi Garden and Gurudwara Park—NDMC continues democratizing beauty. Chahal’s vision aligns with national goals, crafting a Delhi that’s modern yet rooted in sustainability.
Progress reports dazzle: Miyawaki woods emerging in Lodhi, 3,500 trees, massive shrubberies, and bamboo groves planted. Next year’s plantation surge promises more. Wastewater mastery through STPs, old and new, ensures every drop counts.
This festival transcends flowers; it’s NDMC’s pledge to a resilient, blooming capital where nature and progress coexist seamlessly.
