Shah Jahan shifted the capital of the Mughal Empire from Agra to Delhi.
The first capital of the Mughal Empire in India was Agra. Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, established Agra as the capital in 1526 after his victory in the First Battle of Panipat. Later, the Mughal capital was moved to Delhi by his grandson, Emperor Akbar, in 1556. Delhi remained the primary capital of the Mughal Empire for much of its existence.

During the reign of Babur, Delhi was the capital. But later it was changed to Agra. Then under Aurangzeb, Delhi was made capital again.
Babur, a descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan, became the ruler of Delhi through a series of military conquests and strategic alliances. He established the Mughal Empire in India after defeating the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodhi, at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. Babur's victory marked the beginning of Mughal rule in India, which lasted for over two centuries. His military prowess, political acumen, and ability to adapt to local conditions were key factors in his successful establishment of power in Delhi.
