The capital of British India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi on December 12, 1911. King George V, then emperor of India, made the announcement during the Delhi Durbar, a royal ceremony. The foundation of the new capital was laid during the ceremony. The decision was taken during the reign of Lord Hardinge, the then Viceroy of India.
