Breaking Down the Revenue Streams
NDMC’s revenue collection is diversified across several streams, including property tax, license fees, commercial revenue from utilities like water and electricity, and parking fees.

This growth is notable as it’s the first time property tax revenues have crossed the Rs 1,000 crore mark in NDMC’s history.
Commercial Revenue: The largest chunk of NDMC’s revenue comes from commercial activities related to utilities. The council collected Rs 1,811.71 crore from the supply of electricity and water, exceeding its target of Rs 1,659.95 crore and marking continued growth from previous years.
License Fees: The estate department has also seen a remarkable increase, bringing in Rs 937 crore against a target of Rs 825 crore. This figure is a substantial rise from Rs 628.68 crore in FY23 and Rs 527.74 crore in FY22.
Parking Fees: Even smaller revenue streams like parking fees surpassed targets, bringing in Rs 21 crore against an expected Rs 20 crore.
