Kanpur (Hindi: कानपुर, Urdu: کان پور), spelled as Cawnpore before 1948, is the ninth most populous city in India and the largest within the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is the second largest city of the Hindi-speaking belt after Delhi. It remains one of the oldest industrial townships of North India,although it has not kept pace with IT industry growth in the rest of India due to political indifference. It has a metropolitan area of over 1,640 square kilometres (630 sq mi) and a city area of around 829 km2 with an approximate population of 5 million inhabitants.The status of the city was upgraded when it was included in the “Counter Magnets” of National Capital Region (NCR).

To tackle the traffic problem state government and local administration have planned to set up metro service in city known as Kanpur Metro. Owing to the city’s industrial importance, one of the few branches of the Reserve Banks of India and Institute of Chartered Accountants of India were established in the city. It is also home to the globally recognized institution IIT Kanpur.

Kanpur is one of the fastest growing cities of India. The industrial growth in the first decade of the 21st century is phenomenal and supported by the fact that the number of industrial units that were around 14,000 in the year 1998 has almost more than doubled to nearly 29,000 by 2009 in within a period of 10 years which is exceptional growth.
