      town, western Madhya Pradesh state, central India. It lies on the southern Malwa Plateau, the watershed of the Chambal and Narmada river basins. The town, formerly a large British cantonment, was founded in 1818 by John Malcolm. It remains an important cantonment; a small fort and military camp are there. The town is on the Mumbai-Agra highway and has an airport. Dairy farming is a major industry. There is a government college affiliated with the University of Indore.
