The primary objective of this research is to identify the relation or interlink between industrialization and the urbanization process in Bhiwadi industrial area. The present research is based on both qualitative and quantitative information which are collected and analysed from different satellite images and an in-depth study of literature review. This paper employs various indicators and aspects, namely the capacity of workers, trends in urban population, industrial status, and the extent of built-up or infrastructure areas in order to conduct a spatio- temporal analysis of the Bhiwadi industrial area. To differentiate between the land covers of urban and industrial areas, the land use and land cover (LULC) of the region for two decades from 2000 to 2020 are constructed, whilst normalized difference built-up index (NDBI) is utilized to detect changes within the area. Results of map and data tables illustrate the changes in the occupation of land due to industrial and urbanization activity during the last few decades. Moreover, the expansion of built-up areas comprising industrial or urban domains has been stimulated through the development of new residential societies and an increase in workers of urban populations.
