As a world-class city, New Delhi already has many elements of modern infrastructure in place such as mass transportation, pollution checks, and new highways. However, to prepare the city for the influx of people that will occur during the 2010 games, the Indian government is pouring an estimated $17.5 billion into the city for it to be ready in time for the 2010 games.

Delhi has also proposed a four-lane, 2.2 km underground stretch from Ring Road to Lodhi, linking the Games Village to the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and reducing traveling time for athletes traveling between the Village and the Stadium by six minutes.

To improve traffic flow on existing road, plans are underway to make both the inner and outer Ring roads signal free.^[5]

To support its commitment to mass transportation, nine corridors have been identified and are being constructed as High Capacity Bus Systems (for example, one from Ambedkar Nagar to Red Fort). Six of these corridors are expected to be operational in 2008.^[6] Additionally, the Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System (Delhi Metro) will be expanded to accommodate more people and boost the use of public transportation during the 2010 games. By then it will have the second longest network in the world and later the longest, which will be more than 420km. ^[7] To achieve this exponential increase in the network's length, the Delhi Metro has deployed 14 tunnel boring machines (TBMs). The Delhi Metro reports that no country in Asia has ever put to work so many TBMs at the same time.^[8] The Delhi Fort also known as Lal Qilah, or Lal Qila, meaning the Red Fort, located in Delhi, India is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. ...

Terminal 3 will be a two tier building, with the bottom floor being the arrivals area, and the top being a departures area. This terminal will have over 130 check in counters, 55 aerobridges, 30 parking bays, 72 immigration counters, 15 X-ray screening areas, duty free shops, and much more.

To achieve this goal, the government plans to streamline the power distribution process, direct additional energy to Delhi, and construct new power plants. In fact, the government has promised that by 2010, Delhi will have a surplus of power.^[10]

Games Village

A new, modern Games Village is being built by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) along the east bank of the Yamuna River at a cost of USD 230.7 million. The Games Village will be spread over an area of 63.5 hectare (158.4 acre) and is situated near reknown monuments and landmarks such as the Bahai'i Temple, Humayun’s Tomb, and Akshardham Temple. The Delhi Games Village will be a low rise medium development with a possible capacity for 8,500 athletes and officials.^[11] On February 22, 2008, a senior official of the DDA announced that the Games Village would be completed by December 2009.^[12] The river Yamuna is a major river of northern India, with a total length of around 1370 km. ...

Security

In preparation for the Games and to promote security at major tourist destinations, Indian states will be deploying a force of "tourist police" far before the Games begin. These tourism police are regular state police forces, but will be trained to handle tourist-related aspects. A number of states have already implemented this program; other states are expected to emulate this model within the end of the year.^[13]

Tourism

India is expected to use the Games to provide a major boost to tourism in India. According to official estimates, two million foreign tourists and 3.5 million domestic tourists are likely to arrive in Delhi in 2010 as a result of the Games.^[14] To prepare for this influx, the government is providing tax incentives for hotel rooms to be constructed in India, with a focus on tourist regions. Additionally, the government has extended a five-year tax rebate to the tourism industry to promote growth.^[15]

Environment

India has declared itself committed to preventing environmental degradation due to the Games. To meet this goal, Delhi is providing a large upgrade to its mass transportation system by expanding the size of the Metro network and increasing public bus capabilities. Additionally, Delhi has equipped its Metro stations with rainwater harvesting infrastructure, to be stored in tanks located in each station. It is equipping 1,600 out of 2,500 shelters with solar panels, so the bus shelters will be illuminated with solar power, and will equip over 1,000 shelters with water harvesting facilities.^[16]

Controversy arose with regards to the Games Village, the construction of which citizens claimed was harming the banks of the Yamuna River. To address these concerns, the Indian government formed a monitoring committee to oversee the ecological aspects of the construction of the Games Village. It first invited Nobel prize winner and chairman of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) R.K. Pachauri to head the committee; Pachauri, however, recommended that a non-profit group be partnered with the committee for greater effectiveness.^[17] The river Yamuna is a major river of northern India, with a total length of around 1370 km. ...

The government has also authorized Rs.250 million ($6 million) to clean up and improve sanitation around tourist areas, among other activities.^[18]

Other preparation

In addition to physical preparation, India and Delhi will be offering a myriad of amenities to all athletes. These include traditional Commonwealth Games services, such as free accommodation for all athletes, a modern, comfortable Games Village, cutting-edge health facilities, security, a pollution-free environment, entertainment for non-competition times, transportation, and other, unique amenities as well.

The Delhi High Court is also set to implement a series of "mobile courts" to be dispatched throughout Delhi to relocate migrant beggars from Delhi streets.

This subset includes city cab drivers, waiters, gatemen, and service staff.

The city plans to teach 1,000 people English per month, and hopes to reach everyone necessary by March 2009. In addition to Delhi, the Indian Government plans to expand the program to teach people in local tourist destinations, including Agra and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, Bhopal and Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, Gaya in Bihar and Puri in Orissa.^[21] The English language is a West Germanic language that originates in England. ...
