Panipat (Hindi pronunciation: [päː.niː.pɐt̪][5] ) is a industrial planned city, located in Haryana, India. It is 95 km north of Delhi and 169 km south of Chandigarh on NH-1. The three major battles fought in 1526, 1556 and 1761 took place near the city. The city is famous in India as the "City of Weavers" and "Textile City." It is also known as the "cast-off capital[6]" due to being "the global center for recycling textiles".[7] Panipat is also home to a variety of manufacturing industries, including wool and cotton milling, saltpeter refining, and the manufacture of glass, electrical appliances, and other products.[8] Panipat is included in the list of critically polluted industrial areas in India.[9] The Comprehensive Environment Pollution Index (CEPI) of the city is 71.91, as against 88.50 of Ankaleshwar (Gujarat).[10] The fatal field of Panipat is the site of three battles that changed the course of India's history, resulting in the creation and confirmation of the Mughal Empire.[11][12] The third battle led to the decisive defeat of the Maratha Confederacy in North India, which became a dominating power in Delhi by then and paved the way for the British colonial rule of India.[13]
