The Embassy of the United States of America in New Delhi is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in the Republic of India. The Embassy is headed by the U.S. Ambassador to India. The embassy complex is situated on a 28-acre plot of land in Chanakyapuri, the diplomatic enclave of New Delhi, where most of the embassies are located.


Designed by American architect Edward Durell Stone, its planning began in the early 1950s. The embassy complex includes the Chancery, the Roosevelt House (official residence of the U.S. Ambassador), office space and living accommodations. The corner stone of the structure was laid by Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren on 1 September 1956. Warren stated that he hoped the embassy would become a "temple of peace". The Embassy was formally opened on 5 January 1959 in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and other dignitaries. Following the opening ceremony, U.S. Ambassador to India Ellsworth Bunker stated, "To me this building is symbolic of what can be achieved through the cooperation of our two countries. From beginning to end it has been a joint venture."[2]


The United States also has consulates in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad, all of which are associated with the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.[3]
