Economy
of Delhi |
| With an estimated Gross Domestic Product
of 478 billion INR (2005 figure), Delhi is
an important commercial center in South Asia.
According to the economic survey of Delhi,
carried out in 2000–01, Delhi had a
per capita income of 38,860 INR and recorded
an annual economic growth rate of 9.9%. In
2001, the tertiary sector contributed 78.4%
of Delhi's GDP followed by Secondary and Primary
sectors with 20.2% and 1.4% contribution respectively.
The city enjoys a considerably high literacy
rate (81.7%). Delhi's workforce constituted
32.84% of the population showing an increase
of 51.9% between 1991 and 2001. This massive
increase in the workforce was primarily due
to migration of unemployed people from neighbouring
states. As a consequence, Delhi's unemployment
rate increased from 5.7% to 12.7% during the
period 1992 to 2000. In December 2000, 991,000
people were registered with various employment
exchange programs in Delhi.
Historically, Delhi has always been the
economic capital of northern India. In early
19th century, it started to gain importance
in arts and craft, textile and handloom.
Many small-scale industries expanded, including
the handloom and Copper utensils industry.
By the end of the 19th century, Delhi was
northern India's manufacturing hub. Delhi
lies along the important trade route between
Punjab and the Gangetic plains making it
one of ancient India's most important trading
centres
|
In recent years, Delhi's service sector
has expanded exponentially 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, tourism and life sciences. Delhi's
manufacturing industry has also grown considerably
as many consumer goods industries have established
manufacturing units and headquarters in and
around Delhi. Delhi's large consumer market,
coupled with the easy availability of skilled
labour, has attracted a lot of foreign investment
in Delhi. In 2001, the manufacturing sector
employed 731,000 workers (24.6% of Delhi's
workforce) while the number of industrial
units increased by 48.4%.[
However, the contribution of the manufacturing
sector to Delhi's GDP declined from 25.4%
in 1994 to 20.2% in 2001. Construction, banking,
power, telecommunications, health and community
services and real estate form integral parts
of Delhi's economy. Tourism is also a significant
contributor to the economy of Delhi. Other
key industries include government administration
and defence. In 2001, the Union government
had a total workforce of more than 212,000
in Delhi while the State government employed
more than 114,000 people. Other local government
bodies in Delhi employ as many as 298,000
people. In comparison, organised private sector
employed only 217,000.

Delhi's relatively high per capita income, better
living standards and high economic growth rate
has attracted a lot of people from rural areas
in neighbouring states such as Rajasthan, Punjab,
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Due to this
high migration rate, Delhi registers as one of
the fastest growing cities in the world. According
to a United Nations report, Delhi will be the
third largest agglomerate in the world after Tokyo
and Mumbai by 2025.
