Nehru Place is a large commercial center in Delhi, India. Although its importance as a financial center has declined in recent years, Nehru Place is still a prominent commercial area in South Delhi and houses the headquarters of several Indian firms and rivals with other financial centers in the metropolis like Connaught Place, Bhikaji Cama Place and Rajendra Place.
It had been listed as a notorious market between 2009 and 2014 by the USTR for selling counterfeit software, media and goods.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Nehru Place was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India.
