The capital of India is New Delhi

The National Capital Territory of Delhi includes New Delhi, the capital of India (NCT). All three arms of the Indian government have their offices in New Delhi, which also houses the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House, and the Indian Supreme Court.

The NDMC is in charge of running New Delhi, a municipality in the NCT that mostly encompasses Lutyens' Delhi and a few nearby localities. A larger administrative jurisdiction called the New Delhi district includes the municipal area.

Despite the fact that the words Delhi and New Delhi are frequently used interchangeably to refer to the National Capital Territory of Delhi, both the municipality and the New Delhi district make up a comparatively small section of the megacity of Delhi.

The entire NCT as well as adjacent districts in neighboring states like Ghaziabad, Noida, Gurgaon, and Faridabad make up the much larger National Capital Region.

Its design was created by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker. On February 13th, 1931, Viceroy and Governor-General Irwin formally inaugurated the new capital.

Geographical location of the capital of India: New Delhi

The municipality of New Delhi, which has a total area of 42.7 km2 (16.5 sq mi), is a relatively minor portion of the Delhi metropolitan area. Little elevation difference exists throughout the city due to its Indo-Gangetic Plain location. 

The Delhi Ridge, also known as the Lungs of Delhi, is all that remains of the Aravali Range, which once included New Delhi and the surrounding territories. New Delhi is technically a landlocked city despite being situated on the Yamuna River's floodplains. The city of Shahdara is located to the east of the river.

Due to its location in seismic zone IV, New Delhi is susceptible to earthquakes. Due to its location on many fault lines, it frequently suffers earthquakes, the majority of which are of moderate severity. 

The number of earthquakes increased between 2011 and 2015, with the most notable ones being a 5.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake that struck on November 25, 2007, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake that struck on September 7, a 5.2-magnitude earthquake that struck on March 5, and a cluster of twelve earthquakes that struck on November 12, 2013, including four that are 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, and 3.3 in magnitude.
