Delhi

Last Updated: November 2009
 

Delhi, the Capital of the Republic of India, is the headquarters of the Government of the Republic of India and a critical epicentre for international politics, trade, culture and literature. Delhi's gross state domestic product (GSDP) grew at an impressive compound annual growth rate of 12.72 per cent between 2000-01 and 2007-08 to reach US$ 312 billion.

The per capita income in Delhi is amongst the highest in the country; the state has a per capita income of US$ 1,748 against a national average of US$ 540. There has been a phenomenal growth of small-scale industries (SSI) in Delhi in the last four decades, where a sharp increase in the number of units from 17,000 in 1961 to 129,000 in 2000-01 has been recorded.

The Golden Quadrilateral project undertaken by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will connect Delhi to other parts of the country.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is the world's only UN-certified green railway. It is also the only metro network in the world to be ISO 18001 OHSAS certified. In addition to the six approved corridors of Delhi Metro Phase – II, a 20 km. metro corridor from Central Secretariat to Badarpur and another 18 km corridor from New Delhi Railway Station to IGI Airport is currently being constructed in Delhi.

The DTC fleet, which is the world's largest eco-friendly bus service, will be augmented with the purchase of 2,500 new modern and low floor buses.

Delhi will host the Commonwealth Games in 2010.
