About Nagpur

The largest city in central India, Nagpur is a rapidly growing metropolis. It’s one of India’s most industrialized cities, besides being the 13th largest urban agglomeration and the 13th most populous city in India.

During the winters, Nagpur is the seat of the annual winter session of the Maharashtra state assembly. Politically, it’s an important city as it lies in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and forms its commercial and political center.

Famous for the Nagpur Orange and being a major trade center for oranges cultivated in the region, Nagpur is also called the Orange City. It also has a lush cover of green, which often helps it rank highly among cities in environmental preservation.

Fruit and greenery aside, infrastructure development in Nagpur is on the rise. The Multi-Modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur is a major development project in the pipeline. In the Nagpur real estate segment, the MIHAN project, construction of a residential zone extending across 40 sq. km., holds plenty of promise.
