Gujarat Became a Tiger State After 33 Years NTCA Declares:
Gujarat has been officially reinstated as a tiger bearing state after a gap of 33 years. The decision was taken by the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), which has confirmed Gujarat’s inclusion in the All India Tiger Estimation (AITE) 2026 following sustained evidence of tiger presence in the Ratanmahal Sanctuary. This move marks Gujarat’s return to India’s official tiger map which is strengthening the country’s conservation narrative under Project Tiger.
