North West Delhi district

North West Delhi is an administrative district in India's capital city that encompasses residential areas, commercial zones, and transitional spaces. The region contains multiple neighborhoods with varying characteristics, ranging from densely populated urban centers to less developed areas.

This district was created in 2012 through an administrative reorganization that reshaped Delhi's territorial structure. The change formed part of a broader restructuring effort to improve city management and planning.

The population reflects a diverse composition with 87 percent practicing Hinduism, followed by Islamic, Sikh, and other religious communities.

The district is best explored by bus, car, or train, as multiple transit lines run through it. Visitors should expect heavy traffic during peak hours and note that some areas have narrow, winding streets that can be confusing to navigate.

The district maintains a population density of 8,298 inhabitants per square kilometer, ranking 78th among India's 640 districts.
