South Delhi district

South Delhi district spans 250 square kilometers across three subdivisions: Saket, Hauz Khas, and Mehrauli, with a population of 2.7 million residents.

The district evolved from the 1970s four-district structure of Delhi, gaining its current form through administrative reorganization in September 2012.

The district houses multiple religious structures including the Dadabadi Jain temple and Chhattarpur temple, reflecting the diverse population of Hindus and Muslims.

The district headquarters operates from M.B. Road in Saket, with Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station and Indira Gandhi International Airport serving transportation needs.

South Delhi maintains 20 percent green coverage through parks and sanctuaries while hosting major educational institutions like IIT Delhi and AIIMS.
