Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD; ISO: Dillī Nagara Nigama) is the municipal corporation that governs most of Delhi, India. The MCD is among the largest municipal bodies in the world providing civic services to a population of about 20 million citizens in the capital city Delhi.[1] It is headed by the Mayor of Delhi, who presides over elected councillors from 250 wards. The municipal corporation covers an area of 1,397.3 km² (539.5 mi²).[1] The annual budget of the corporation is above ₹16,000 crore (~US$1.95 billion).[2]

MCD is one of three municipalities in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, the others being New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) which administers the New Delhi area and Delhi Cantonment Board which administers the Delhi Cantonment area. It is the largest and only municipality of Delhi which is elected by the people.

Municipalities of Delhi

History

MCD came into existence on 7 April 1958 under an Act of Parliament. Prior to that DMC (Delhi Municipal Committee) was the principal civic body of Delhi. Guru Radha Kishan served for the longest consecutive period as a councilor of the MCD (initially Delhi Municipal Committee).[3] Pt. Trilok Chand Sharma served as the first elected Mayor of Delhi. Since then, the Municipal Body has always been alive in its constitution and functioning to the growing needs of citizens. The 1993 amendment of the Act brought about fundamental changes in composition, functions, governance and administration of the corporation.

Trifurcation

On 13 January 2012, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was 'trifurcated', i.e. split into three smaller municipal corporations. The new North Delhi Municipal Corporation and South Delhi Municipal Corporation each contain 104 municipal wards, while the smaller East Delhi Municipal Corporation contains 64 wards.

Reunification

In March 2022, the state Election Commission indefinitely deferred the municipal elections that were scheduled to be held in April 2022.[4] On 22 March, the Union Government approved the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Bill to merge the 3 municipal corporations back to a single body.[5] The Lok Sabha passed the Bill on 30 March 2022,[6] while it was passed by the Rajya Sabha on 5 April 2022.[7] The unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi formally came into existence on 22 May 2022 with IAS officers Ashwani Kumar and Gyanesh Bharti taking charge as Special Officer and Commissioner, respectively.[8] Election was held on 4 December 2022, with Aam Aadmi Party winning the majority of seats.[9]

Municipal Zones in Delhi

The entire MCD area is divided into 12 zones:[1][10]

  • Central
  • City–SP
  • Civil Lines
  • Karol Bagh
  • Keshav Puram
  • Najafgarh
  • Narela
  • North Shahdara
  • Rohini
  • South Shahdara
  • South
  • West
Ward Committees of Delhi MCD

Each Zone has a ward committee, which consists of all the councillors elected from that ward. These ward committees are structures meant to decentralise administrative powers, and provide local solutions for local problems.[11]

It manages the corporation with financial functions, approval to projects, discussing, finalising and implementing the policies for the capital city etc. It also has powers to appoint sub-committees on issues such as education, environment, parking etc and form regulations.[17]

While 6 of the Committee members are elected directly by the house, the remaining 12 are chosen by ward committees.
