Gurugram
Gurugram, city, southeastern Haryana state, northwestern India. It is situated between Delhi (northeast) and Rewari (southwest), to which it is connected by road and rail.
Gurugram was traditionally an agricultural trade centre. By the last decades of the 20th century, however, manufacturing had become increasingly important. Industries include power-loom weaving and the manufacture of automobiles and farm implements. Many foreign companies in the technology, finance, and manufacturing sectors established operations there, often choosing to locate their national corporate headquarters in the city. The result was dramatic growth in and around Gurugram, and its population increased nearly sevenfold between 1991 and 2011. In the region surrounding the city, irrigation from wells supports the cultivation of grains and oilseeds. Pop. (2001) city, 172,955; urban agglom., 228,820; (2011) city, 876,969; urban agglom., 902,112.
