Under the guidance and mentorship of Mr.B.S.Mehra the club touched new heights and finally broke into the top tier of Delhi football and got promoted to the Senior Division.

In the year 2009 Mehra finally realized that it is the right time to take the club under his guidance completely. He started to give more time to club activities and began to dream of making this club one of the best in Delhi and qualifying for the I-League 2nd Division. Following this dream he acted as its chairman and managing director and the name was changed to Delhi United FC from Gorkha Heroes to target a wider audience.

They defeated City FC with a score of 13–0 in a match which is still the highest scoring game in Delhi’s top flight. In 2010–11 the club focused its attention on the I-League 2nd Division and strengthened their squad by signing big players like Rishi Kapur, Manoj Joshi, Monu Chaudhary, Vikas Rawat, Ajit, Rajkumar, Deepak Mehra and other top Delhi star players. Their hard work finally paid off and they became champions of the Senior Division by defeating Shahdara FC in the Final with a score of 3–2. Delhi United FC gave the best performance in Durand Cup-2012 by qualifying for QFs by defeating Indian Navy, Army Greens in qualifying rounds.
