From Il to 13: City's districts to soon align with MCD's zones

Delhi is set for its most significant administrative reshaping in years, with the number of districts likely to rise from 11 to 13 under a redrawn map that largely aligns the Capital's revenue boundaries with those of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

The restructuring plan, prepared by the revenue department and now awaiting the Delhi cabinet's approval, aims to streamline governance by ensuring that civic and administrative jurisdictions finally overlap after years of mismatch, officials aware of the matter said on Monday.

Senior officials involved in the exercise said the cartographic work is complete and that the final approval is expected soon, given the approaching deadline for freezing districts ahead of the 2025 Census.
