Detailed explanation-1: -The capital of Mughal empire was shifted from Agra to Delhi by Shah Jahan in the year of 1638.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shāh Jahān later shifted the capital to Delhi during his reign, but his son Aurangzeb moved the capital back to Akbarabād, usurping his father and imprisoning him in the Fort there. Akbarabād remained the capital of India during the rule of Aurangzeb until he shifted it to Aurangabad in the Deccan in 1653.
Detailed explanation-3: -, Shahjahan made the decision to relocate his capital to Delhi. The key explanation for this was that Agra’s streets were becoming too narrow for grand processions and ceremonies, and since Agra had long been the seat of mughal influence, it had become overcrowded.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shah Jahān transferred his capital from Agra to Delhi in 1648, creating the new city of Shāhjahānābād there.
Detailed explanation-5: -The early Mughal emperors favoured Agra as their capital, and Delhi became their permanent seat only after Shah Jahan built (1638) the walls of Old Delhi.
