Mandi Gobindgarh is a town and municipal committee in Fatehgarh Sahib district in the state of Punjab in North India.

To date, a Gurudwara remains situated near the town's railway station to commemorate Guru Hargobind in his holy memory.

In 1902, the Maharaja Hira Singh of Nabha, where Gobindgarh then lay, ordered the building of industrial units in the town.

The land was made available to local blacksmiths at nominal rates in early 1940, leading to the establishment of a number of workshops on both sides of the G.T.

Mandi Gobindgarh began as a walled town with four gates, which neighbored Modi Mills, Munilal Om Prakash, the main post office (present to this day), and Krishna Mandir.

Thousands of people became unemployed and were forced to return home after the closure of several factories within a short span of time.
