The Delhi Police wants to change the usual khaki uniforms worn by constables and inspectors. They might switch from cotton shirts and trousers to polo T-shirts and cargo pants. The new uniforms will still be khaki-colored.

They are also thinking about updating caps, berets, and shoes. The traffic police uniforms might change too, but the designs are not decided yet.

The police have been planning these uniform updates for two years. They want uniforms that suit the weather in Delhi and the different jobs police do, like keeping order on streets, managing traffic, and handling big crowds.

Delhi Police has about 87,000 people, including IPS and DANIPS officers. Changes to constable and inspector uniforms can be decided by the city police. But changes for IPS and DANICS officers need approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs and other authorities.

A committee from Delhi Police is working on these uniform changes. They're looking at designs, fabrics, costs, and choosing suppliers. Right now, they're in the early stages. They've proposed some designs and talked to suppliers, but no final decisions are made yet. They'll get feedback from police before making final choices.

They're also thinking about giving police separate uniforms for summer and winter. The winter uniform might include a warmer layer to wear under the woolen uniform.

Recently, samples of the new uniforms were given to some police from different districts for feedback. Pictures of the new uniforms were shared on social media, leading to rumors that the new uniforms were decided. But one of the officers clarified that they're still in the testing phase.
