Delhi's 2027 Holiday Calendar
Delhi's 2027 calendar runs on 19 notified holidays in total, 17 central gazetted days observed nationwide and 2 specific to the state.
Delhi's Own Additions
The holidays specific to Delhi are Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti, Chhath Puja.
Delhi's 2027 calendar leans heavily on the 17 central gazetted holidays, Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti among them, with just 2 days specific to the state. That short state-specific list reflects how much of Delhi's workforce sits in central government offices, which already follow the central calendar. Chhath Puja is the one notable addition the Delhi government makes on its own. These 2027 dates follow the standard panchang until Delhi's General Administration Department issues its own notification.

FAQs on Delhi Holidays in 2027
Four holidays line up next to a weekend in 2027. Good Friday (Friday, 26 March) and Diwali (Friday, 29 October) each add a day onto the weekend that follows. Mahavir Jayanti (Monday, 19 April) and Bakrid (Monday, 17 May) do the same from the other side, extending the Saturday-to-Sunday weekend before them. Chhath Puja, Delhi's other state-specific holiday, falls on a Thursday (4 November) with no adjoining weekend day, so it stands alone.
Yes. Chhath Puja is observed on Thursday, 4 November 2027, one of just two state-specific holidays on Delhi's list, alongside Dr. Ambedkar Jayanti. Delhi's own additions are few because the city largely follows the central gazetted calendar, with central government offices making up a large share of its workforce.
Delhi's General Administration Department typically issues its holiday notification toward the end of the preceding year, so the 2027 list is expected around late 2026. Until it's out, the dates on this page follow the standard panchang, so check them against the official notification once it lands.
Delhi observes 19 notified holidays in 2027 in total: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 2 specific to the city.
Yes. Holidays notified for Delhi apply across New Delhi, Dwarka, Rohini, Saket, Karol Bagh and Connaught Place, unless a specific government notification states otherwise for a particular area.

Check the latest State Gazette notification or your organization's HR policy before planning leave or financial transactions around any of these dates.
