West Delhi district

West Delhi district spans 131 square kilometers and contains three subdivisions: Patel Nagar, Rajouri Garden, and Punjabi Bagh, serving 2.5 million residents.

The district emerged from Delhi's administrative restructuring in 1956, when the territory received union status, leading to increased governmental autonomy.

The population reflects India's diversity with Hindi speakers at 75 percent and Punjabi at 14 percent, while Hinduism and Sikhism form the main religious groups.

The district headquarters at Shivaji Place coordinates with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to manage public services and local governance matters.

West Delhi maintains a population density of 20,000 people per square kilometer, with 99.75 percent of inhabitants residing in urban areas.
