The fortress is in a poor and decaying condition.

The Maharawal Khewaji Trust had planned to convert the fort into a museum that would display photographs, weapons, books, vintage cars, military vehicles, and state coaches. The trust had gotten the Shish Mahal of the complex restored. The Durbar Hall was said to have been restored by a Delhi-based company in the 2000s. Except for the burj towers, Shish Mahal, and the Moti Mahal, the rest of the fortress requires urgent restoration, including its main building. The wooden ''chhajjas'' built around the main building on the first floor are dangerous due to their poor-condition. The fort has not been afforded any special status by the [[Archaeological Survey of India|Archeological Survey of India]]. |
