• The overhaul aims for faster, more citizen-centric governance, streamlining service delivery and inter-departmental coordination.
• Three new districts (Old Delhi, Central North, Outer North) are added, Shahdara removed; full operationalization by December 2025.
• The plan includes increasing sub-divisions to 39 and Sub-Registrar Offices to 39, with 13 'Mini Secretariats' for one-stop services.
