No, Agra is not in Delhi. Agra is a major city located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP). While it is geographically close to Delhi (the capital territory of India), it is administratively and politically part of Uttar Pradesh.
Here’s a detailed breakdown:
| Feature | Agra | Delhi |
| State/UT | Uttar Pradesh | National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi |
| Distance from Delhi | Approx. 230 km (via Yamuna Expressway) | N/A (Delhi is the reference point) |
| Governing Body | Agra Nagar Nigam (Municipal Corporation) | Delhi Government & MCD |
| Famous For | Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri | Red Fort, India Gate, Qutub Minar |
| Nearest Major Airport | Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay Airport (proposed), currently Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) | Indira Gandhi International Airport |
Many people assume Agra is part of Delhi because of:
- Its close proximity (approx. 3–4 hours by road or 2 hours by train).
- It being a key stop on the Golden Triangle Tourist Circuit (Delhi–Agra–Jaipur).
- The Taj Mahal often being marketed with Delhi tour packages.
But officially, Agra falls under the jurisdiction of Uttar Pradesh.
