Geography

Bali Nagar shares a very strategic location with an easy access to and from Rajouri Garden malls (to the West), Kirti Nagar (to the South East), Moti Nagar (to the East), Shivaji Enclave (North Western neighbour), Ramesh Nagar (Southern neighbour), Raja Garden (Western neighbour), Basai Dara Pur (Eastern neighbour), West Punjabi Bagh (Northern neighbour), West Delhi Universities (Rajdhani / Shivaji College), and ESI Hospital on Ring Road, all located either a walking distance or a few minutes drive or Metro away. The location is highly approachable as it is under 11 km, which takes approx. 25–30 minutes drive from main hubs like Dhaula Kuan, Central Delhi like Karol Bagh and Connaught Place and any other Delhi Hubs. However, with the introduction of Delhi Metro the distances have been cut almost in half. The Indira Gandhi International Airport is 12.6 km away and can be reached in 25-35 mins, and the same goes for the Railway station!

History

Bali Nagar was developed by a real estate company known as Bali & Co (Pvt) Ltd. The vast collection of farming lands was opened up to development in Delhi's 1970s expansion to the north and west. Many of the new residents were Punjabis who had migrated from Punjab and Haryana. Over the years, new families and communities have moved into the area, but it still remains a largely Punjabi-dominated area.

Notable personalities include Kichu and Mage Magellan.
