Correct Answer: Lord Hardinge


Solution : The Correct Answer is Lord Hardinge

Delhi's status as the nation's financial and political hub during the earlier eras of Indian rule was one of the factors in its designation as the country's capital. Prior to its relocation, Lord Hardinge served as Viceroy of India and advocated in a letter for the British Empire to switch its capital from Calcutta to Delhi. The cost of moving the entire administration from Kolkata to Delhi was four million British pounds.
