The phenomenon of urban growth is a complex one. It is the result of numerous social, economic, ecological, cultural, and even political situations. Rapid urbanization generally arises due to the disbursement of peripheral prime agricultural land, destroying the natural landscape in the process. The industrial and economic development has initiated the rapid growth of small and medium-sized towns in India. Mahendragarh city, a part of the National Capital Region of India, is undergoing rapid urban expansion. This study examines the process of urban expansion in Mahendragarh city. The methodology of the study is dependent on open-source Landsat satellite data, GIS-based unsupervised classification, and spatial metrics analysis. The city expansion has been analysed for a period of 34 years, from 1991 to 2025, and population growth has been studied since 1991. Within the study period, expansion rate of 15.30 %. Built-up land had a growth rate nearly 2 times higher than population, indicating urban sprawl. An assessment of different landscape metrics revealed that the landscape of Mahendragarh has lost land use diversity. The findings of this study offer information about the present state of urban growth. It also serves as a valuable resource for formulating comprehensive planning and development policies, ensuring the promotion of sustainable urban development.
