    Demographics, Economics and City Shape Delhi is located in northern India between the latitudes of 28°-24’-17"and 28°-53’-00"North and longitudes of 76°-50’-24"and 77°-20’-37"East. Delhi shares its border with the States of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Delhi has an area of 1483 sq km, out of which urban area is 925 sq km.

It is said to be built on the site of the epic Indraprastha, where the legendary palace and court of the Pandavas 2 were located. Going by history alone, Delhi became historically important for the first time in the 11th century as a city of the Rajputs (A warrior clan from central India). Over the years Delhi became the site of seven cities 3 , most of them belonging to the more recent Muslim period of Indian history. Delhi was a small town in the beginning of twentieth century with a population of 0.4 million. Delhi’s population started increasing after it became the capital of British India in 1911. During the Partition of the country in 1947, a large number of people migrated from Pakistan and settled in Delhi. Migration into the city continued even after Partition.

    2. India today ranks sixth in the world in total energy consumption and is although rich in coal and renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydro, has very small hydrocarbon reserves. India therefore is a net importer of energy and more than 25% of her primary energy needs are met through imports[i]. The domestic energy production pattern is such that coal and oil account for 54% and 34% respectively with natural gas, hydro and nuclear contributing to the balance. Despite this there exists a large gap between the electricity demand and supply with peak national capacity deficit estimated at about 29%. To overcome this problem all available sources of energy, including nuclear power, must be optimally developed and deployed.…
