it is not any neighborhood...Delhi NCR is a union territory and New Delhi is a new city in Delhi built by British which is capital of Delhi NCR as well as India...

A new "city" inside of a larger existing city? So in other words, it's a neighborhood of Delhi.

You should accept Raipur for Bhilai. Considering they're both about the same size (1 mil) and in the same greater metropolitan area. And Raipur is the capital.

That must be the origin of my favorite cucumber - poona kheera. It grows great in my garden and doesn't get bitter with age. I always wondered about its name. (It looks like a russet potato when it gets older, but still tastes good.)

If you are willing to consider the Raipur - Bhillai - Durg Tri city metropolitan area, shouldn't the Visakhapatnam Metropolitan region should be considered. It has a population of over 5 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visakhapatnam_Metropolitan_Region

could you accept "Lakhnau" as a type-in for Lucknow? i know it's not in common use, but it's a closer romanization than "Lucknow" is

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3c/Hi-Lucknow.ogg sounds closer to a "lahk" i should retract this request anyway. the NIC (an Indian institution) uses "Lucknow" rather than "Lahknau", which is probably just a very bad alternative spelling

I think Ghaziabad should be on the list having an urban population more than Agra.
