Manesar is a town and municipal corporation, known as New Gurgaon city in the Gurugram district of Haryana and a part of the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi.
Manesar was planned in 1980s as an Industrial Model Township (IMT) during the formation of Maruti Udyog Ltd. Since the late 1990s, it has been transformed into a booming town. Its growth has been helped by government's drive to move out factories from Delhi as well as the growth of Gurgaon city and proximity to Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (approximately 40 minutes).
