The Delhi Gymkhana Club, one of the oldest social institutions in Delhi, is facing a significant challenge after the Central Government ordered it to vacate its 27.3-acre premises at 2, Safdarjung Road by June 5, 2026. This directive, issued by the Land and Development Office (LDO) on May 22, cites the need for the land for defense infrastructure and public security. The club has responded by urging the government to maintain the status quo, highlighting the potential disruption to its operations, which serve nearly 14,000 members and employ over 500 individuals. The club's financial outlook has improved, with a projected profit of ₹925.10 lakh (approximately $1.12 million USD) for the fiscal year 2023-24, contrasting with significant losses in previous years. The club is currently managed by a General Committee, as it awaits the establishment of an elected body. The management has requested an urgent meeting with government officials to discuss the implications of the eviction and explore potential relocation options.
