Earlier as Delhi was the center of Northern India so the Government of British India felt that it would be easier to oversee India from Delhi. Therefore the land for building the new city of Delhi was acquired under the Land Acquisition Act 1894.

In December 1911 King George V of Britain decreed that the capital of British India would be moved from Calcutta (now Kolkata) to Delhi.  Later on King George V, Emperor of India and Queen Mary laid the foundation stone of New Delhi at the site of Delhi Durbar at Kingsway Camp. Large parts of New Delhi were planned by Edwin Lutyens, who first visited Delhi in 1912 and Herbert Baker, both leading British architects of the 20th century.

After India gained independence in 1947, limited autonomy was conferred to New Delhi and was administered by a Chief Commissioner appointed by the Government of India. The first major extension of New Delhi outside of Lutyens’ Delhi came in the 1950s when the Central Public Works Department CPWD developed a large area of land.
