However, it was not until 1931 that then Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, inaugurated the new capital. https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/delhi-was-inaugurated-as-the-capital-of-india-308545-2016-02-13

13/02/2019 12:13I think in 1911- foundation stone was laid. 1911-31, the Lutyen's Delhi was still under construction. 1931- inaugrated.
