| Delhi is also an important trading and commerce center of India and the focal point of economy for northern India. Top Indian and foreign companies are headquartered in Delhi and the NCR region. At the helm of Delhi's economy is the Government of India and its various ministerial headquarters.
Delhi accounts for the highest number of employment in the service sector, which is today the largest economic sector. Delhi's tourism industry contributes a sizable chunk to its economy. Apart from its medical, agricultural and educational institutions, Delhi's industrial centers also employ substantial numbers of workers, which are mainly concentrated in the eastern, western and southwestern parts of Delhi and in the satellite towns of NOIDA, Gurgoan and Faridabad. Everything from cars to medicine is manufactured at these industrial units. Agriculture, which was once the region's economical mainstay, covers only 5% of the land use and is slowly dwindling with rapid urbanization.
