After a two-month delay, the Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has finalized its budget for the fiscal year 2026-27, totaling Rs8.760 billion. However, the plan does not include any updates to Murree Road. The finance sub-committee, led by Rawalpindi Commissioner and RDA Director General Salman Ghani, reviewed and approved the budget, with input from various government departments.
The budget allocation includes Rs3.917 billion for ongoing and new development projects, with major initiatives such as the Rawalpindi Ring Road, the R3 Project, and the Nullah Leh Project. The RDA is expected to generate Rs4.482 billion from its own sources, while Rs3.917 billion will be provided by Punjab government grants. Various fees and revenues are also projected to contribute to the budget, with Rs572 million set aside for official residential apartments, and Rs450 million for new multi-storey buildings on RDA-owned land.
