Inder Puri (Tamil:மொழிபெயர் ), (Hindi:इन्दर पुरी ), is a fairly small, self-contained residential colony located in the south part of New Delhi. It lies between Naraina and New Rajinder Nagar area and is an upscale neighborhood. Inderpuri has some of the wealthiest families residing, generally around B, C, R, EA and RA blocks. It is a pollution-free area and is located next to the renowned Pusa Institute.
The area has a bus stop, retail shopping outlets, and various parks. It is well-known colony as it is close to shopping hubs such as Karol Bagh, and Rajouri Garden. It itself has a commercial area where one would get almost all household consumables and appliances etc. It has its own police station, post office, market, various banks branches and ATM's and multiple places of religious worship like Temples, Gurudwaras and a Church.
With the expansion of Delhi towards west with Rohini and south with Dwarka, Inderpuri now actually falls right in the heart of Delhi.
