NCR is the national capital region of Delhi which encompasses satellite cities like Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Gurgaon.The idea behind the creation of NCR is traced to the first ever master plan of Delhi in 1962. The main aim was to minimize the burden of increasing population of Delhi due to large scale industrialization.
The inception of NCR has been beneficial both to the government and the common people. It has relieved Delhi of the burdens of growing demands fro corporate bodies and government establishments. Due to globalization, the city needed more infrastructure and expansion to meet the growing demands. Most of the corporate set ups and and government offices found ample spaces for vast establishments in the NCR.
NCR region is now home to major international and domestic companies be it IT, ITES, BPO or other manufacturing and service industries due to good connectivity of these satellite cities with the capital. The advent of the Delhi Metro services that span across most of the entire NCR is the main reason for good connectivity. The proposed phases of the Delhi Metro aim to span across the entire NCR.

Gurgaon is the main city of the NCR as it is the hub of major IT companies and provide the best infrastructure in terms of schools,roads,housing societies and medical facilities. Among the major industries in Gurgaon, IT, ITES, auto manufacturing and pharmaceuticals have the maximum existence.

Faridabad is one of the main industrial cities of Haryana. Newly developed Faridabad or New Faridabad is the most preferred destination for industries, IT companies, corporate bodies and government departments.
Ghaziabad has been judged as one of the top ten hottest destinations of the world by Newsweek magazine. Gone are the days of obscurity. Today Ghaziabad has emerged as one of the best swanky towns. It has managed to carve a niche for itself on world map. World Class Township, state-of-the-art malls, higher study centers have redefined the paradigms of Ghaziabad.
New roads and flyovers make sure that traveling is an easy ride from Delhi to any of the satellite cities. But, the landscape has transformed completely with the construction of new shopping malls, skyscrapers, roads and flyovers. Modern style residential societies have been developed with luxury homes, apartments, flats and bungalows. Commercial buildings and offices are ever increasing owing to growing demand from foreign and domestic companies.
