I got married in 2005 in Delhi but did not get my marriage registered. Later on I shifted to Pune (Maharashtra) and now for several reasons (e.g. passport update, bank account opening) a marriage certficate is needed. Since I am not living in Delhi currently, is it possible to get my marriage registered and obtain a certificate of marriage from Pune? Will this certificate be valid across India?

You can register your marriage at the place of your residence. There is no bar in law for such registration and it is perfectly valid too.

Hello Gaurav, If you are married as per Hindu rites and have proof of residence at Pune then certainly you can register your marriage at pune which shall be valid for all purposes. However the Sub-Registrar has authority to verify the documents regarding your marriage, and raise issues regarding the delay in registration, however usually he condones such delay on producing valid proof of marriage.
