Panipat (päː.niː.pɐt̪[5]) is an industrial city, located 95 km north of Delhi and 169 km south of Chandigarh on NH-44 in Panipat district, Haryana, India. It is famous for three major battles fought in 1526, 1556 and 1761. The city is also known as 'city of weavers', 'textile city' and 'cast-off clothes capital'[6][7] of the world. It is home to industries like wool and cotton milling, saltpetre refining and manufacture of glass, electrical appliances, and other products.[8] The city is included in the list of critically polluted industrial areas in India.[9] As on Dec 2009, the Comprehensive Environment Pollution Index (CEPI) of the city was 59.00, as against 88.50 of Ankaleshwar (Gujarat).[10] The three battles fought in the fatal field of Panipat changed the course of India's history, first two resulting in 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 had become a dominating power in Delhi by then and paved the way for the British Empire's Company rule in India .[13]
