The first phase of Census 2027 in Delhi, which started in the New Delhi district last week, picked up pace on Monday (April 20, 2026) as enumerators began a door-to-door survey for the House Listing and Housing Census.

The exercise commenced on April 16 in areas under the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and Delhi Cantonment jurisdictions. It comprises two stages — physical mapping and geotagging of houses, and a door-to-door survey. An official said the first stage has been completed and the exercise is likely to be concluded by May 15.
