New Delhi Municipal Council

What New Delhi Municipal Council does

New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is a statutory municipal body established under the NDMC Act 1994, governing an area of 2,282 acres covering Lutyens Delhi and surrounding premium administrative districts. Founded historically with the 1911 transfer of India's capital from Calcutta to Delhi, NDMC was formally constituted as a municipal body following constitutional amendments. It provides comprehensive civic services to residents, businesses, and institutions within its jurisdiction, including electricity and water distribution, property tax assessment and collection under the Unit Area System, building plan approvals, birth and death registration, healthcare delivery through two hospitals (Charak Palika Hospital with 177 beds and Palika Maternity Hospital with 65 beds), 12 dispensaries, and 8 MCW centers, education across 43 schools serving over 28,000 students, and maintenance of approximately 1,250 acres of public greens.

NDMC has built an extensive digital infrastructure comprising over 20 integrated e-governance platforms, including the SmartCity-311 mobile application for field operations, a citizen-facing NDMC 311 app, an AI-powered WhatsApp Chatbot, VBD-Tracker for disease surveillance, iPromise street light management, GIS mapping of the entire jurisdiction, E-Office for internal operations, E-Hospital, LIMBS legal management, and specialized portals for property tax, electricity/water billing, building approvals, and birth/death registration. Technology partnerships with NIC, MTNL, and integration with the Digital India initiative underpin this infrastructure.

NDMC generates revenue through multiple streams: property tax (Rs.160.25 crores in the most recent disclosed year, up from Rs.116.36 crores five years prior), license fees from shops and establishments, electricity and water utility billing, estate management charges (including Rs.130.44 crores from misuse charges, ground rent, and conversion charges), and service charges for certificates, approvals, and civic services. Pricing is largely nominal or government-mandated. The organization is governed by a Council headed by Chairman Keshav Chandra, IAS, with a Secretary and multiple directors across 30+ departments, and operates three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NDMC Smart City Limited.
