Delhi national capital territory consists of two landmarks: Old Delhi, in the north and New Delhi, in the south. It is second-most productive metro area of India and is second-wealthiest city in India. Delhi is of great historical significance as an important commercial, transport, and cultural hub, as well as the political center of India. Delhi features a dry-winter humid subtropical climate bordering a hot semi-arid climate. The ridges and hillsides of the national capital territory abound in thorny trees, such as acacias, as well as seasonal herbaceous species. The animal life of the national capital territory, like its plant life, is quite diverse. There is a clear distinction in Delhi between areas where local influences are foremost and areas where colonial and cosmopolitan aesthetics predominate. The bulk of Delhi’s working population is engaged in trade, finance, public administration, professional services, and various community, personal, social services and is home to 18 billionaires and 23,000 millionaires.
