New Delhi pronunciation (help·info) (Hindi: नठदिलà¥à¤²à¥, Punjabi: ਨਵà©à¨ ਦਿੱਲà©, Urdu: ÙØ¦Û Ø¯ÙÛ) is an urban area within the metropolis of Delhi, and the capital city of the Republic of India, as well as the seat of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi.
New Delhi is governed by its own municipal government, known as the New Delhi Municipal Council. Other urban areas of the metropolis of Delhi are administered by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and are hence not considered a part of the capital city. However, the entire metropolis of Delhi is commonly known as New Delhi in contrast to Old Delhi.
Geography and demography
New Delhi has a population of 171,806 (2001 census), and an area of 35 km², with a population density of 4,909 persons per km².

New Delhi (Hindi: नठदिलà¥à¤²à¥, Punjabi: ਨਵà©à¨ ਦਿੱਲà©, Urdu: ÙØ¦Û Ø¯ÙÛ) is an urban area within the metropolis of Delhi, and the capital city of the Republic of India, as well as the seat of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi.
From 1772 to 1911, Calcutta was the capital city of British India. However, Delhi had served as the political and financial centre of several empires of ancient India, most notably of the Mughal Empire. During the early 1900s, a proposal was made to the British administration to shift the capital of the Indian Empire from Calcutta to Delhi. Unlike Calcutta, which was located on the eastern coast of India, Delhi was located in central India and the Government of British India felt that it would be easier to administer India from Delhi rather than from Calcutta. Owing to its historic and cultural importance, George V, the then Emperor of India, made the announcement the capital of the Raj was to be shifted from Calcutta to Delhi.
After India gained independence in 1947, a limited autonomy was conferred to New Delhi and was administered by a Chief Commissioner appointed by the Government of India. In 1956, Delhi was converted into a union territory and gradually the Chief Commissioner was replaced by a Lieutenant Governor. In 1991, the National Capital Territory Act was passed by the parliament and a system of diarchy was introduced under which, the elected Government was given wide powers; except law and order which remained with the Central Government. The actual enforcement of the legislation came in 1993.
