New Delhi
The FCC in New Delhi has a long pedigree, having been founded in 1958 by correspondents covering the Indian Subcontinent from Tibet to Sri Lanka. It has more than 500 journalist members still cover as much of region as possible. New Delhi was and remains the natural locus of the Subcontinent from the perspective of the press by virtue of being the capital of India, having extensive residential, schooling and entertainment options for families, and having the benefit of nonstop flights to dozens of cities in the Subcontinent, a necessity for journalists. Most correspondents of international media outlets tend to cover not only India but also all neighbouring countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka from a permanent base in New Delhi.
In 1990, the FCC obtained its own premises on Mathura Road, a major thoroughfare, in New Delhi.
