in 17th century UK consolidated their hold on india. they managed to topple the moghul emperor and slowly moved their operations to delhi as it was rich in gold, antiquities, culture, wealth and more advanced than other places.
UK developed its admin and strategic capital in delhi and many new industries to feed mother england sprang up. eg cotton industry. raw materials for the industrial revolution from india would go thru the merchants in delhi and Bombay. eg steel, coal, iron, and agricultural produce.
this led to delhi's importance in india and the english empire. it grew till now and when independence was given, delhi was choice for capital city.
