Good to know

Building your company's Delhi calendar

If you run HR for a company with staff in Delhi, treat this list as your starting point. Add the national days your policy gives, decide whether you offer floating holidays, say in writing what happens when a holiday falls on a weekend, and publish the final calendar before the year begins. If you have offices in several states, keep one calendar for each.

For the central government list, see Central Government holiday list 2027. The Delhi list for 2026 is at Delhi holiday list 2026.

Delhi 2027 holiday list (provisional), compiled from OfficeHolidays - Delhi 2027, CalendarLabs - Delhi holidays 2027, Central Government holiday list 2027 (DoPT office memorandum of 16 July 2026), as published by Staffnews and Central Government restricted holidays 2027 (DoPT), as published by Staffnews, read on 10 November 2026. The Delhi government has not published its holiday notification for 2027 yet (last checked 10 November 2026). We put this list together from OfficeHolidays - Delhi 2027, CalendarLabs - Delhi holidays 2027, Central Government holiday list 2027 (DoPT office memorandum of 16 July 2026), as published by Staffnews and Central Government restricted holidays 2027 (DoPT), as published by Staffnews, and checked every festival date against the Central Government's 2027 order. Dates can change when the state notifies. We update this page as soon as it does, so check back before you plan leave or payroll, and confirm with your office circular. Weekdays were checked against the calendar. Rules last reviewed 9 November 2026.

Frequently asked questions

How many government holidays does Delhi have in 2027?

Our provisional list has 15 general holidays. It is not final until Delhi issues its notification. Holidays that fall on every Saturday and Sunday are already days off for state offices.

Is this the final Delhi holiday list for 2027?

Not yet. The Delhi government has not published its 2027 notification. This list comes from published lists and the Centre's 2027 festival dates, and we replace it with the official list as soon as it is out.

When will Delhi announce its 2027 holidays?

Most states notify between November and January. Dates for moon-based festivals such as Eid and Muharram are confirmed closer to the day.

Does a private company have to follow this list?

Not necessarily. Many private employers use the state list as a base and add their own days. Check the notification and the rules that apply to your type of establishment, and put your final calendar in writing.

What happens if a holiday falls on a weekly off?

The lists we read do not give a replacement day. If your company gives one, write it into your holiday policy.

Why can the date of Eid or Muharram change?

These festivals depend on the sighting of the moon, so the date can move by a day. Any change is announced at short notice.

Can I share or print this list?

Yes. Use the PDF download or the print button, or share the page link. The PDF carries our name and web address on every page.
