Mayapuri is a locality in west Delhi and it is a major hub of small scale industries, but following recent Government sanctions, most of the heavy metal industries have moved out. There are some light metal industries and residential flats including DDA flats and private.
In April 2010, the locality of Mayapuri was affected by a serious radiological accident. An orphan source arrived at a scrap yard in Mayapuri during March where it was dismantled by workers unaware of the hazardous nature of the scrap. The accident occurred because of cobalt 60 radiation from an orphan source which was scrapped off by the Delhi University. Eight people were hospitalized as a result of the radiation exposure, where one later died.
