MCD Civic Centre, Municipal headquarters in New Delhi, India
The MCD Civic Centre is a 101-metre, 28-storey tower of five multi-storey blocks with about 1,16,000 sq metres of built-up floor area, near Asaf Ali Road. It stands among Tagore Road, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Vivekananda Road and Zakir Husain Delhi College, with seven entry and exit gates, eight escalators and 43 passenger and service elevators.
The MCD Civic Centre was inaugurated in April 2010, after 15 years of delays, and MCD offices moved there from Delhi Town Hall in Chandni Chowk. Following the 2012 trifurcation of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, it remained a shared administrative hub for the new North, South and East Delhi bodies, while some departments were redistributed to district-level offices.
The building's name comes from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, whose offices moved here from Delhi Town Hall in Chandni Chowk. After the MCD was trifurcated in 2012, the Civic Centre stayed a shared hub for the new North, South and East Delhi bodies, and committee meetings and civic sessions are still held in the complex.
The building features three basement levels for parking, eight escalators, and 43 elevators to move people efficiently through the structure. These facilities help manage the large number of visitors accessing different departments simultaneously.
The complex has seven entry and exit gates and eight escalators, and its three-level basement parks about 2,500 equivalent car units. Maintenance is outsourced to a private company for Rs 8.33 crore a year. It stands near Asaf Ali Road, ringed by Tagore Road, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Vivekananda Road and Zakir Husain Delhi College.
