Hi Dharmendra,

I prepared the files you asked for: Delhi with 11 district features, plus Jammu district as a separate shapefile.

Download both with instructions (147 KB, free, no signup):
https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/downloads/community-20260827/delhi-jammu-shapefiles.zip

Individual downloads and source notes:
https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/community-resources#districts

Each shapefile includes .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj and .cpg. Extract the relevant ZIP and keep those five files together, then open the .shp in your GIS. The original district, state and code fields are preserved for joins.

These are exact subsets of the National Water Data Portal / NWIC District Boundary download. I checked all 12 geometries for validity and compared every exported coordinate, part and attribute against the source.

Source: https://nwdp.nwic.gov.in/dataset/district-boundary
The SHP resource is dated 1 May 2025. This provides the requested 11-district Delhi version, not a new 2026 boundary survey. Jammu is the district, not the whole division. Original source-agency fields and attribution are included.

One practical detail: the original India NSF Lambert Conformal Conic projection is retained, so coordinates are metres, not latitude/longitude. The README explains this and how to open the files.

Hope this saves you some time. Let me know if you have trouble opening them.

Thank you sir for your help.
Do you have the block level of this shape file?

Hi Dharmendra,

Yes — I prepared the lower-level follow-up and verified it against the current LGD directory before packaging it:

https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/downloads/community-20260902/civicdataforge-delhi-jammu-lower-level-boundaries-2026-09-02.zip

There is an important distinction in the source data:

- Jammu: the current Ministry of Panchayati Raj LGD directory returns 20 development blocks. The official public block polygon service is explicitly an LGD-2017 layer. Eighteen block codes align exactly; two current blocks have no matching polygon in that service, and two 2017 polygons are no longer in the current directory.
- Delhi: the current LGD directory returns no development blocks. I included the nearest official lower-level administrative geometry instead: 36 Delhi subdistrict polygons from the National Water Data Portal.

The ZIP includes Shapefiles, GeoJSON, current LGD directory CSVs, source links, hashes, and a machine-readable reconciliation file. I kept every mismatch visible rather than silently relabeling stale geometry as current.

If by “block level” you meant a different administrative unit, tell me which one and I’ll map the request precisely.

Best,
Bryan

Hello Mr. Bryan, can you arrange a sub district level shapefile for Delhi?

Hi Dharmendra,

Yes—I’ve separated the Delhi subdistrict layer into a Delhi-only download so it is easier to use:

https://civicdataforge.pages.dev/downloads/community-20260905/delhi-subdistrict-boundaries-nwic-2025.zip

It contains 36 subdistrict polygon records, with the original source names, codes and coordinates preserved. I checked all 36 geometries and included a README.

Extract the ZIP, keep the five shapefile components together, and open delhi-subdistrict-boundaries-nwic-2025.shp in QGIS or ArcGIS. This is the subdistrict layer, not the earlier district-level file.

The source is the National Water Data Portal’s published 2025 layer; it is not a newly surveyed 2026 boundary map. If your study needs a particular administrative boundary year, let me know which one.

Hope this helps with your work!
