Area Overview
What makes Sector 78 special
Sector 78 sits at the Gurugram end of the NH-48 township belt, which makes it the closest of this group to the city proper.
Development is township-led and largely delivered, with gated projects and society retail, and the belt’s usual generous space and parking.
It is MCG territory, unlike the Manesar sectors further west which fall under a separate municipal corporation.
