DEPARTMENT OF FORESTS AND WILDLIFE
NOTIFICATION
Delhi, the 24th April, 2025
No. F.1(2554)/Legal/HQ/23-23/1022.—In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 33 of the Delhi
Preservation of Trees Act, 1994, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, in public interest, hereby,
notifies “Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) For Tree Felling / Transplantation under Delhi Preservation of Trees
Act (DPTA), 1994”
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE (SOP) FOR TREE FELLING / TRANSPLANTATION UNDER
DELHI PRESERVATION OF TREES ACT, 1994
The Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) regulates the felling of
trees in NCT of Delhi. The object of the Act is to preserve the trees and not to permit cutting or felling of the trees,
unless necessary. Considering the object of the Act, it is evident that the permission for felling or cutting of the trees
can be granted only by way of an exception and not in a routine manner. The provisions of the Act reiterate the public
trust doctrine, which enjoins the State to protect the natural resources, including the trees.
[PART IV
DELHI GAZETTE : EXTRAORDINARY
9
On a joint reading of Articles 21, 48A and 51A (g) of the Constitution of India, it is apparent that the State is
mandated to protect, improve and safeguard the natural environment. Trees are a vital part of our environment. The
precautionary principle requires the governments to anticipate, prevent, and remedy or eradicate the causes of
environmental degradation, including acting sternly against the violators. Illegal felling of even a single fully grown
tree hurts the environment and the society as a whole.
The aim and objective of the Act, inter alia, is to promote afforestation, reforestation and environmental
protection throughproactive participation of the community, and also to promote a sense of innate ownership amongst
the citizens, towards trees and forests in Delhi.
There are three major parts of the Act. The first part deals with the grant of permissions to fell the trees, the
second part is about the duties of the Tree Authority, and the third part is about penalizing the persons for committing
breaches of the provisions of the Act. There are other provisions, such as the obligation of the owners of the lands to
preserve the trees.
1.
IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE DELHI PRESERVATION OF TREES ACT, 1994, RELATED

tree and includes bulldozing, cutting, girdling, lopping, pollarding, applying arboricides, burning or
damaging a tree in any other manner.
1.3
