It is ranked 21st in terms of area, with less than 1.4% (44,212 km2 or 17,070 sq mi) of India's land area.[2] [13] The state capital is Chandigarh , which it shares with the neighbouring state of Punjab ; and the most populous city is Faridabad , which is a part of the National Capital Region . The city of Gurgaon is among India's largest financial and technology hubs.[14] Haryana has 6 administrative divisions , 22 districts , 72 sub-divisions, 93 revenue tehsils , 50 sub-tehsils, 140 community development blocks , 154 cities and towns , 7,356 villages, and 6,222 villages panchayats .[13]
Haryana contains 32 special economic zones (SEZs), mainly located within the industrial corridor projects connecting the National Capital Region.[13] [16] Gurgaon is considered one of the major information technology and automobile hubs of India.[17] [18] Haryana ranks 11th among Indian states in human development index .[6] The economy of Haryana is the 13th largest in India, with a gross state domestic product (GSDP) of ₹ 7.65 trillion (US$92 billion) and has the country's 5th-highest GSDP per capita of ₹ 240,000 (US$2,900).[5]
