The Indian capital on Tuesday imposed an immediate night curfew a day after the nation posted a record coronavirus surge, with financial hub Mumbai also introducing similar restrictions.
Alarm has grown since India passed more than 100,000 new cases in a single day for the first time on Monday.
New Delhi, which is home to 25 million people, and other major cities have all ordered a clampdown on public movement.
The Delhi regional government said the 'sudden increase in Covid-19 cases' and 'high positivity rate' meant a night curfew was needed.
