4 months on, Delhi Ridge board yet to hold meeting

|April 13, 2026
More than four months after it was reconstituted and given statutory powers, the Delhi Ridge Management Board (DRMB) has yet to hold a meeting amid delays in appointing officials and civil society members, officials aware of the matter said.
The 13-member board, chaired by Delhi's chief secretary, includes government officials and two civil society members whose appointments are pending. The DRMB was constituted by the Union ministry of environment, forest and climate change (MoEFCC) through a gazette notification dated December 1, 2025.
The board was also given statutory powers, as directed by the Supreme Court in November, to establish an entity responsible for issuing permissions related to the use of the Delhi Ridge, and for monitoring and acting against encroachments and other violations that threaten it.
The new DRMB replaced the former Ridge Management Board, which was constituted in 1995 without statutory powers.
The previous RMB last met in July 2025 — after more than a year — and approved several projects and recommended them to the Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC).
