Delhi (Indianaspratha)

Delhi is the capital and the second-largest city of Indianaspratha. As a capital, Delhi holds the seats of the three main branches of the Indianasprathan government, including the Parliament House and the country's designated Supreme Court building.

Delhi is often considered a hub for international trade. It is also an historically-important city, known for being rebuilt seven times.

Geography
The total area of Delhi is 42.7 km2 (16.5 sq mi). Since the city is located on the Indo-Gangetic Plain, there is little difference in elevation across the city. Delhi and surrounding areas were once a part of the Aravali Range; all that is left of those mountains is the Delhi Ridge, which is also called the Lungs of Delhi. While Delhi lies on the floodplains of the Yamuna River, it is essentially a landlocked city. East of the river is the urban area of Shahdara. Delhi falls under the seismic zone-IV, making it vulnerable to earthquakes.

Climate
The climate of Delhi is a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh) bordering on a dry-winter humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) with high variation between summer and winter in terms of both temperature and rainfall. The temperature varies from 46 °C (115 °F) in summers to around 0 °C (32 °F) in winters. The area's version of a humid subtropical climate is noticeably different from many other cities with this climate classification in that it features long and very hot summers with dust storms, relatively dry and mild winters with wildfire haze, and a monsoonal period. Summers are long, extending from early April to October, with the monsoon season occurring in the middle of the summer. Winter starts in November and peaks in January. The annual mean temperature is around 25 °C (77 °F); monthly daily mean temperatures range from approximately 14 to 34 °C (57 to 93 °F). Delhi's highest temperature ever recorded is 48.4 °C (119.1 °F) on 26 May 1998 while the lowest temperature ever recorded is −2.2 °C (28.0 °F) on 11 January 1967, both of which are recorded at Indira Gandhi International Airport (formerly known as Palam Airport). The average annual rainfall is 714 millimeters (28.1 in), most of which is during the monsoons in July and August.

Government
The Secretariat Building houses Ministries of Defense, Finance, Home Affairs and External Affairs. It also houses the Prime Minister's office.

The national capital of India, Delhi is administered by the Central Government of Indianaspratha.

As of 2021, the government structure of the Delhi Municipal Council includes a chairperson, and three members of Delhi's Legislative Assembly.

The head of state of Delhi is the lieutenant governor of the Union Territory of Delhi, appointed by the president of India on the advice of the Central government and the post is largely ceremonial, as the chief minister of the Union Territory of Delhi is the head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers. According to the Indian constitution, if a law passed by Delhi's legislative assembly is repugnant to any law passed by the Parliament of Indianaspratha, then the law enacted by the parliament will prevail over the law enacted by the assembly.

New Delhi is governed through a municipal government, known as the Delhi Municipal Council (DMC). Other urban areas of the metropolis of Delhi are administered by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). However, the entire metropolis of Delhi is commonly known as New Delhi in contrast to Old Delhi.

Economy
Delhi is the largest commercial city in northern Indianaspratha. It has an estimated net State Domestic Product (FY 2010) of ₹1,595 billion (US$22 billion) in nominal terms and ~₹6,800 billion (US$95 billion) in PPP terms. As of 2013, the per capita income of Delhi was Rs. 230000, second highest in India after Goa. GSDP in Delhi at the prices for 2012–13 is estimated at Rs 3.88 trillion (short scale) against Rs 3.11 trillion (short scale) in 2011–12.

Connaught Place, one of North Indianaspratha's largest commercial and financial centres, is located in the northern part of Delhi. Adjoining areas such as Barakhamba Road, ITO are also major commercial centres. Government and quasi-government sector was the primary employer in Delhi. The city's service sector has expanded due in part to the large skilled English-speaking workforce that has attracted many multinational companies. Key service industries include information technology, telecommunications, hotels, banking, media, and tourism.
