Khargone district, Administrative district in Madhya Pradesh, India
Khargone district is an administrative area in Madhya Pradesh situated between the Vindhyachal mountains and the Satpura range. The Narmada River flows through its territory, shaping the natural landscape.
The region passed between different rulers including the Haihayas of Mahishmati, the Paramaras of Malwa, the Mughals, and the Marathas. It became part of the modern state of Madhya Pradesh in 1956.
The district is home to several tribal communities speaking Nimadi, Hindi, and Bareli, who keep their traditions alive in daily life. This linguistic diversity shapes local celebrations and traditional crafts throughout the region.
The economy is supported mainly by cotton production, with processing units in both cooperative and private sectors. Visitors should expect that tourism infrastructure is limited outside the larger centers.
The Khargone Super Thermal Power Station was India's first ultra-high capacity thermal power plant and remains a major technological milestone. This facility significantly shapes the region's industrial infrastructure.
