The redeveloped stretch has red granite walkways spreading around 1.1 lakh square metre with greenery all around, more than 133 light poles along the Rajpath, 4,087 trees, 114 modern signages and stepped gardens. This is the first project that has been completed under the Narendra Modi government's ambitious Central Vista redevelopment plan. This project aims at making Central Vista more pedestrian-friendly round-the-clock.

The revamped structure will have state-wise food stalls, red granite walkways with greenery all around, vending zones, parking lots, and round-the-clock security. PM Modi will inaugurate the entire stretch from Vijay Chowk to India Gate on Thursday evening. A day later on September 9, the place will be thrown open to the public.

The redevelopment project of the Central Vista - the nation's power corridor - envisages a new triangular Parliament building, a common central secretariat, revamping the three-km Rajpath, a new Prime Minister's residence and office, and a new Vice President's enclave.
