Malwa, Historical region in west-central India

The Malwa region spans across western Madhya Pradesh and southeastern Rajasthan states, characterized by a volcanic plateau north of the Vindhya Range.

The territory transformed from an independent state with its capital at Mandu in 1401 to becoming part of the British Central Provinces by 1861.

The region developed its own identity by combining elements from Rajasthani, Marathi, and Gujarati traditions, with Malvi as the primary spoken language.

Agriculture drives the regional economy through the production of cotton, wheat, corn, gram, sugarcane, millet, and peanuts across the fertile black soil.

The area contains substantial mineral deposits including manganese, copper, bauxite, limestone, zinc, and graphite, supporting various industrial activities.
