Delhi, officially the National Capital Territory of
Delhi or NCT, is a city and a union
territory of India. Delhi's urban
area is now considered to extend beyond the NCT boundary to
include an estimated population of over 26 million people making it the world's second largest urban
area. Delhi is the second wealthiest city
after Mumbai in India, with a total wealth of $450 billion and home to 18
billionaires and 23,000 millionaires. Delhi is also the centre of the National Capital Region (NCR), which is a unique 'interstate regional planning'
area created by the National Capital Region Planning Board Act of 1985. Delhi
ranks among the cities with the worst air pollution in the world.
ECONOMY:
Delhi is the largest
commercial centre in northern India. As of 2016 recent estimates of the economy of the Delhi urban
area have ranged from $167 to $370 billion ranking it either
the most or
second-most productive metro area of India.
In 2001 the total workforce in national and state governments and the
quasi-government sector was 620,000, and the private sector employed 219,000.
Key service industries are information technology, telecommunications, hotels,
banking, media and tourism. Construction, power, health and community
services and real estate are also important to the city's economy. Delhi has
one of India's largest and fastest growing retail industries. Manufacturing also grew considerably
as consumer goods companies established manufacturing units and headquarters in
the city.
TRANSPORT:
AIRWAYS:
Indira Gandhi International Airport, situated to the southwest of Delhi, is the main gateway
for the city's domestic and international civilian air traffic. The Delhi Flying Club, established in 1928 with two de Havilland Moth aircraft named Delhi and Roshanara, was based at Safdarjung Airport which
started operations in 1929, when it was the Delhi's only airport and the second
in India. A second airport open for commercial flights has been
suggested either by expansion of Meerut
Airport or construction of a new airport in Greater Noida.
ROAD:
Delhi has the highest road
density of 2103 km/100 km2 in India. Delhi has one of
India's largest bus transport systems. Buses are operated by the state-owned Delhi Transport
Corporation (DTC), which owns the largest fleet of compressed natural gas (CNG)-fueled buses in the world. Personal vehicles
especially cars also form a major chunk of vehicles plying on Delhi roads.
Delhi has the highest number of registered cars compared to any other
metropolitan city in India. Taxis, auto rickshaws, and cycle rickshaws also ply
on Delhi roads in large numbers.
RAILWAY:
Delhi is a major junction
in the Indian railway network and is the headquarters of the Northern
Railway. The five main railway stations are New Delhi railway
station, Old
Delhi, Nizamuddin
Railway Station, Anand
Vihar Railway Terminal and Sarai Rohilla.
METRO:
The Delhi
Metro is a rapid transit system serving Delhi, Faridabad, Gurgaon, Noida and Ghaziabad in the National Capital Region of India. Delhi Metro is
the world's 10th largest metro system in terms of length. Delhi Metro
was India's second modern public transportation system, which has
revolutionised travel by providing a fast, reliable, safe, and comfortable
means of transport. Metro services are being extended to important hubs
in the cities that are close to offices, colleges, and tourist spots. This will
facilitate easy conveyance for the citizens, who otherwise have to rely on
public buses that are heavily crowded and are often stuck in traffic jams.
