Faridabad, not Delhi : My new Indian adventure..

rmur · Jul 1st, 2008, 01:03

I've just found out that I'll be living in Faridabad and not Delhi. I hope that doesn't change my plans too much!
I can't find any info on Faridabad so I'm going to ask for some help

Hi Rmur. Have moved your duplicate post from the Delhi forum to here in the Haryana forum. Sorry for the confusion.

Faridabad is a suburb, as of now have not heard of expats living or working there. Primarily a manufacturing hub. but loads of middle class Indians too.

About 30km from central Delhi. Mainly into manufacturing, has recently been in the spotlight as apartment construction picks up.

Living there, I would expect you to be dependent on Delhi more than if you were living in Gurgaon or Noida- it is not as developed as those two yet.

Well as long as I can pop in and out of Delhi easily then I should be happy

I am from faridabad so can give u more details... primary focus is on manufactoring... the local transport is almost not there except for the rickshaws & auto .. auto's are genrally shared.. less crowded than delhi hence the noise levels are low... rents & land prices are still low as compared to delhi, gurgaon.. has easy access to delhi, noida as well as gurgaon... 6-7 malls are presently operational, so no dearth of movie tickets as each mall has a multiplex.. however for nightlife faridabad depends on gurgaon/ delhi... no good pub to boast of but a couple of bars which are also not of very high standard...but faridabad does boast of a good golf club... let me know incase u need further info...

Like Shanks said Faridabad is a bit of a manufacturing hub and your dependence on Delhi would be quite high. Its grown substantially over the last few years and one sees a lot of ad's for luxury apartment's etc now at pretty cheap prices so accomodation should not be a problem, infact you might be able to pick up a very nice place.

I dont know what you can do there do. It does not come close to Delhi or even Gurgaon with respect to having a nightlife and is more often than not, in the papers for the wrong reason..

rmur · Jul 18th, 2008, 23:46

helz, I am not there yet. I'll be there around September 1st after a week in Delhi

Thats not going to help you settle into Faridabad..
