New Delhi: The number of districts in Delhi, the capital of India, has been increased to 13 as part of a major administrative reform. Previously, Delhi had only 11 districts. The aim of this change is to streamline governance and make administrative functions more efficient.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated that this reorganization will align the boundaries of revenue districts and municipal corporations, leading to better services for citizens and increased transparency in administrative work.
The Delhi Cabinet approved the creation of 13 new revenue districts on December 12, 2025. Under this initiative, the new districts have been formed based on the areas covered by the 12 MCD zones, NDMC, and the Delhi Cantonment Board.
