WELCOME TO PANIPAT Panipat founded by Pandavas, is a historical city of three famous battles fought between Ibrahim Lodi and Babar in 1526, second between Akbar and Hom Chander Vikramaditya (a Hindu King of North India), 1556 and third between an Afghan, Ahmadshah Abdali and Marathas. So, a monument, Kala Amb, which is live spectator of these battles, is worth watching. Hemu Samadhi Sthal at village Santhapur is additional evidence of its authenticity. Panipat is also recognized as an important Industrial town throughout the world for its textile, carpets and export business of about Rs. 20 crore per day. Indian pickles ‘Pachranga’ also has international recognition. The changing scenario of world opportunity and development is manifested by the presence of public sector projects as IOCL Refinery, National Fertilizers Limited and Thermal Power Plant in the city outskirts.
