# What is the capital of India?

This feels like one of those questions that should be obvious, yet I've seen conflicting answers online—some mention [New Delhi](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/44243/how-can-i-get-admission-in-delhi-technological-university-new-delhi), others Delhi. Is New Delhi the official capital, or is the entire National Capital Territory considered the capital for all government purposes?
