Delhi Gymkhana Club: Why The Meltdown? | Media Scan

Delhi Gymkhana Club, one of India’s oldest and most prestigious private social clubs, is at the center of a major controversy after the Government of India terminated its lease and ordered it to vacate its 27.3-acre premises near the Prime Minister’s residence by June 5. The government says the land is required for security infrastructure and other public purposes, while also citing governance and management concerns. The club has challenged the move in court, arguing that the reasons for the takeover have not been adequately explained and questioning the security rationale. The dispute has sparked a wider debate over colonial-era elite institutions, public land use, government powers, transparency, and the future of exclusive clubs in India.
