Ford Foundation Leaves Lodhi Estate Office; Premises Allotted to India-Led Initiatives
The Ford Foundation vacated its Delhi office at 55, Lodhi Estate, after its lease ended in 2025, moving to a new address in March. The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs allotted the vacated premises to two India-led initiatives: the International Big Cat Alliance and the Global Biofuels Alliance, both launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2023. Officials confirmed no forceful eviction occurred, and the property holds historical significance, having been designed by architect Joseph Stein.
