Bali Nagar is a medium-high residential colony located in West of New Delhi, India. It was developed by Bali & Co (Pvt) Ltd. Once a farming land, it was sold for development in the 1970s and was primarily bought up by businessmen.
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. Over the years, new families and communities have moved into the area, but it still remains a largely Punjabi-dominated area.
