The Centre had planned to complete the entire Central Vista project, entailing an expenditure of Rs 23,000 crore, by 2024, but the deadline had already been extended to 2026. Due to the impact of the second wave of Covid-19, the government has decided to slow down the execution of the project, said the official.
