Malviya Nagar is a residential locality in South Delhi. Situated between Saket and Hauz Khas, its namesake is the freedom fighter Madan Mohan Malviya.
Malviya Nagar was initially populated in the 1950s by refugees from Pakistan, after the Partition of India. A large portion of the population were ethnic Rajasthani, U.P., Haryanvi, Punjabis and Sindhis, as well as Afghan refugees who were displaced during the Soviet–Afghan War in 1971.
Today, Malviya Nagar is bounded by Panchsheel Enclave in the north, Sheikh Sarai in the east, Saket in the south and Hauz Khas in the west. Sub localities that are part of Malviya Nagar include Geetanjali Enclave, Navjeevan Vihar, Bhavishya Nidhi Enclave, Shivalik colony, Begumpur, Sarvodaya Enclave and MMTC Colony.
It is serviced by the Malviya Nagar station located on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro. Malviya Nagar is also home to Delhi Police's Training School.
