The project for pay-and-use toilets was proposed in September 2009 but was deferred due to legal issues. The cost of constructing one toilet block is estimated to be around INR10 million ($0.21 million). Construction work has already begun on the toilets with five-star comforts in a few places like Defense Colony and Lajpat Nagar market.
The state-of-the-art toilets will be better than those found in five star hotels. The toilets will be air-conditioned and the first floor of the toilet will have coffee shop and flower shops. Tenders have already been proposed and many companies have come forward to open shops on the first floor of the luxury toilets. Sanitation in the toilets will be taken care of by the shop owners.
The civic agency has already identified certain areas for opening these toilets and these include: Gulmohar Park, M-Block market, GK-I, PVR Saket, Ambavata Complex, Mehrauli, Green Park Market, Chirag Delhi, Subzi Mandi, Kotla Mubarakpur, Nehru Enclave, Andrews Ganj, Paschim Vihar, Janakpuri, Taj Enclave Road, Paharganj, R.K. Puram, South Extension Part-I, Ganesh Nagar and Delhi University.
