Delhi NCR, the biggest urban cluster of the country, is consists of a number of towns and cities including the capital of India, New Delhi. Before the British imperialism carved out a capital of Delhi in 1911, the region had served as the headquarters of various powerful dynasties and emperors ranging from the legendary Pandavas of Mahabharata to the Mughals. In the past Delhi witnessed a fascinating fact; invaders who unleashed devastation had rebuilt it later. Today, it stands as a lively microcosm of India with mazy alleys and rickety havelis of Old Delhi, wide boulevards and sprawling government complexes of New Delhi, and bustling industrial centers like Ghaziabad, Gurgaon, Noida or Faridabad.

Constituents of Delhi’s tertiary sector include tourism, IT, banking and finance, telecommunications, media, and hotels.
