It used to be a major hub of heavy metal and small-scale industries, but following government sanctions, most of the heavy metal industries moved out. The place is now a combination of light metal factories, scrap markets, and automobile service stations. In 2010, a major radiation accident took place in the scrap yards of Mayapuri.

  • Get inIf taking an auto rickshaw from here, the prepaid desk will often try to charge you as much as three times the actual price quoted on the official price guide displayed clearly in their window - bargaining is sadly often cheaper.
  • Get aroundAn eight-hour charter should cost around ₹1,500, and a tip is expected if the driver is helpful.
  • Get aroundAuto rickshaws (also called three-wheeled scooters, tuk-tuks or simply autos) are good for shorter trips.
  • Get aroundAlways in a distinctive yellow-and-green livery, auto rickshaws are three-wheeled partially enclosed contraptions that run on CNG and can seat three people in the back.
  • Get aroundAlthough by law the rickshaw drivers should charge according to the meter in their vehicle (₹25 for the first two km, ₹8/km after), this rate is unrealistically low and they will almost always try to haggle for price.
  • Get aroundCycle rickshaws are three-wheeled, pedal/electric powered rickshaws with seats in the back to seat passengers and a driver in the front.
  • Get aroundThey are good for short distances, or places which are too far to walk but too short for taking a bus/taxi/auto rickshaw.
  • Get aroundCycle rickshaws don't use meters, so establish a price before getting on.
