As per two separate orders issued by the ministry of corporate affairs, Delhi will get two RoCs after the revamp—one for South Delhi and one for Central Delhi—while Haryana will get one RoC functioning from Chandigarh. At present, one RoC took care of both states.

Uttar Pradesh now gets a second RoC—in addition to the existing one in Kanpur—who will function from Noida. Maharashtra will have two new RoCs—in Navi Mumbai and Nagpur—in addition to those at Mumbai and Pune. Kolkata, too, will have a new RoC.
