Centre Renames MCD Zones to Align with Delhi's Revised Revenue Districts
The Centre has renamed the 12 zones of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to align with Delhi's revised revenue districts, following a December 2025 reorganization into 39 subdivisions across 13 districts. This amendment, notified by the Ministry of Home Affairs under the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, updates the Fourteenth Schedule to list all 250 municipal wards under the new zone names. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated that the change aims to improve coordination between civic and revenue authorities, streamline governance, and facilitate easier access to public services for citizens.
