Named after Mirza Najaf Khan, the Mughal Army’s commander-in-chief during King Shah Alam II’s rule, Najafgarh is located on the outskirts of the southwestern part of Delhi. The area is a mix of urban and rural setup. Najafgarh is about 30 km from the centre of New Delhi and 10 km North-West to the district headquarters at Dwarka. It is surrounded by localities like Dwarka, Uttam Nagar, Nawada, Kakrola, and various villages of Haryana.
It enjoys good accessibility to Gurugram via Najafgarh-Gurugram Road. District Centre Janakpuri, a popular commercial hub, is about 12 km away.

The Delhi Police Academy, one of the primary training centres for sub-inspectors and constables, is also in this locality. The locality primarily caters to the lower to middle-income group due to reasonable housing costs. Nirmal Bhatia School, Prudence School, BRMT College of Education and R. C. Institute of Technology are located within a 2 to 3 km radius.
Renowned Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University is also in the vicinity.

Issues like waterlogging during monsoon, inadequate garbage disposal, lack of parking space, and traffic congestion during peak hours are also common.
Increasing pollution levels of Najafgarh Lake, the second-largest water body in Delhi NCR after the Yamuna, is a significant cause of concern in this locality. The drain, at present, is clogged with solid waste. However, the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) is now working towards an environmental management plan to protect the lake. The plan to beautify and convert the Najafgarh drain into a clean water channel is also in the pipeline.
