Delhi health insurance initiatives

Overview

In late May 2026, the Delhi government drafted a health‑insurance scheme to provide up to Rs 13 lakh coverage per child with disabilities, aiming to offset costs of surgeries, treatments and assistive equipment. The proposal targeted a wide range of conditions and was to be linked with empanelled hospitals and rehabilitation centres.

A few days later, Delhi reported the issuance of 7.72 lakh Ayushman Bharat health cards, combining central PM‑JAY benefits with an additional Rs 5 lakh funded by the state. The cards offered cashless coverage of up to Rs 10 lakh and facilitated the settlement of 34,715 claims worth Rs 86.22 crore, easing out‑of‑pocket expenses for beneficiaries. The scheme operates through 233 empanelled hospitals and included heat‑wave preparedness measures such as dedicated ICU beds and mobile relief units.
