Wireless Experimental Centre, Military communications facility in Anand Parbat, Delhi, India
The Wireless Experimental Centre was a military communications facility on Anand Parbat in Delhi housing radio equipment and decoding stations. The installation processed intercepted radio signals for Allied intelligence services during World War II.
The facility operated between 1942 and 1945 as an outpost of Bletchley Park focusing on Japanese radio transmissions. Specialists from Britain, India, and the Royal Air Force worked together on decryption tasks at this location.
The centre brought together British military personnel, Indian army members, and Royal Air Force staff who collaborated on intelligence gathering operations.
The site is not open to the public as it remains part of an active military area. Information about its historical operations can be accessed through archival research in Kew, England.
In 1943, specialists Maurice Allen and Wilfred Noyce achieved the first decryption of high-level Japanese Army codes at this location. This breakthrough contributed significantly to the Allied war effort in the Pacific.
