New Delhi (CNN Business) Google is rolling out a new app just for India.

Neighbourly is a local social network that aims to answer questions people often have about their immediate surroundings, such as where to find the best street food or a reliable car repair shop. The app will source its answers from other users, or "neighbours."

said in a blog post Wednesday. It has just been made available in India's capital, New Delhi, and its tech hub, Bangalore. India's biggest cities, including Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata, will be added over the next few weeks, Google ( GOOGL said in a blog post Wednesday.

"We know that most of life happens within 1 [kilometer, 0.6 miles] from home or work and that many information needs are local," Neighbourly's engineering manager Arnold Binas said in the blog post. "We've also found that when finding local information, people prefer to ask or discuss with another person — whether that's a friend, family member, or neighbour."

Neighbourly will source answers to common local queries from other users in the area.

Google began testing the app in Mumbai in May, before expanding the trial to six other cities in the last few months. Neighbourly has been downloaded more than 1.5 million times since June, and Google said half a million people have joined a waiting list in cities where it isn't yet available.
