Govt launches new food security rules
The Morning Standard
|January 29, 2026
THE Delhi government has implemented the Delhi Food Security Rules, 2025, following cabinet approval, which was a statutory requirement under Section 40 of the National Food Security Act, 2013.
These rules mandate stringent exclusions in categories like government employees, income-tax payees, owners of multiple four-wheelers (beyond one commercial vehicle), high electricity usage consumers, or property owners in specified areas. The new rules will give preference to “priority households”, as defined in the Central law, through district-level scrutiny done by the district magistrate-led panels, which will also include elected representatives.
