Delhi plans to be power surplus by the time the Games are held. To ensure additional power to Delhi, the government is undertaking a large power-production initiative to increase production to over 5,880 mega watts (MW) from the current 4,500 MW. The power distribution system will be streamlined, more power directed to Delhi and new power plants constructed. Delhi Jal Board is planning to augment water supply substantially by 2010. Two new initiatives have been undertaken to boost water supply from the current 670 million gallons per day (MGD) to 941 MGD. Plans are also underway to streamline Delhi’s solid waste management system. Twenty new hospitals will be functional by 2010 to enhance Delhi’s healthcare and medical infrastructure. Special trauma ambulances will be on call during the Games to provide immediate relief in cases of emergencies. Nine new automated car parks are being built in the vicinity of the Games venues with a capacity for 7,500 vehicles.
