Faridabad (Hindi: [fəɾiːdɑːbɑːd]) is the most populous city near NCT of Delhi in the Indian state of Haryana and a part of Delhi National Capital Region.[9] It is one of the major satellite cities around Delhi and is located 284 kilometres south of the state capital, Chandigarh.

The Government of India included it in the second list of Smart Cities Mission on 24 May 2016.[10] As per the 2021 Delhi Regional Plan, Faridabad is a part of the Central National Capital Region or Delhi metropolitan area.[11]

The newly developed residential and industrial part of Faridabad (Sec. 66 to 89) between the Agra Canal and the Yamuna River is commonly referred to as Greater Faridabad (also known as Neharpar). The area is being developed as a self-sustained sub-city with wide roads, tall buildings, malls, educational institutions, and health and commercial centers. Sectors 66 to 74 are Industrial Sectors, while Sectors 75 to 89 are Residential Sectors.[12]

Faridabad is a major industrial hub of Haryana.[9] 50% of the income tax collected in Haryana is from Faridabad and Gurgaon.[13] Faridabad is famous for henna production from the agricultural sector, while tractors, motorcycles, switch gears, refrigerators, shoes, tyres and garments constitute its primary industrial products.

In 2018, Faridabad was considered by the World Health Organization as the world's second most polluted city.[14] Faridabad ranked 10th in the Swachh Survekshan Survey's top ten dirtiest cities in India in 2020.[15]

Faridabad has been selected as one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a smart city under Government of India's flagship Smart Cities Mission by Ministry of Urban Development.

One of the two significant structures in the area, the dam lies about 1 km to the north of the Anangpur village. A path from the main village street will lead you into flat pastureland. Head for the small rocky hill ahead of you and climb over it. On the other side is another flat area, rather thickly covered in thorn trees. It is worth finding a way through them to the dam that straddles the gap between the two nearby hills. The dam is an impressive edifice 50 m wide and 7 m high built from accurately hewn quartzite blocks.---There is a passage for the egress of water at the level of the ground on the dammed side. The flat land across which you have walked is caused by centuries of silt deposits in the lake that once existed behind this dam. The land around has been very heavily quarried recently, so further archaeological finds are unlikely. {{cite book}}: |work= ignored (help)
