The National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCT) has an area of approximately 1,484 square kilometers (573 square miles). It is a union territory with a relatively compact geographical size.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Population<\/strong>: Delhi is one of the most populous cities in India and the world. As of my last knowledge update in 2021, the population of Delhi was over 30 million people, making it one of the most densely populated urban areas globally.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Kolkata<\/strong>: In contrast, Kolkata, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, has a smaller land area. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation area covers about 185 square kilometers (71 square miles). As of 2021, the population of Kolkata was around 14 million people.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cheaper Delhi or Kolkata: <\/strong>Kolkata is considered cheaper than Delhi in terms of the cost of living. Housing, food, and various services are often more affordable in Kolkata compared to Delhi. However, the cost of living can still vary depending on one's personal choices and lifestyle.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h4><strong>Check Related Questions<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong><a
