The New Delhi General Post Office (also known as Gole Dak Khana) is the central post office in New Delhi. The GPO is situated in the Gole Market area, within a roundabout formerly known as Alexandra Place. Its octagonal shape and low height were intentional design choices to ensure a clear view of the nearby Sacred Heart Cathedral. The GPO was one of the first few public buildings in New Delhi built after the city became the new capital in 1911. The New Delhi GPO received the Sevottam IS:15700-2005 certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards in 2011.
