About Mehsana
Mehsana Municipal Corporation is a relatively new body, having been constituted on January 1, 2025, following the upgrade of the former municipality and the merger of surrounding village areas. The city itself carries considerable historical weight; its roots are tied to the Chavda dynasty, and it was later established as a major administrative headquarters by the Gaekwads in 1902.
Situated as a gateway to North Gujarat, Mehsana serves as the nearest major city to the Sun Temple at Modhera and the UNESCO-listed stepwell Rani ki Vav. Economically, the city punches well above its size; it is home to Dudhsagar Dairy, one of the country's significant dairy cooperatives, hosts critical operations for ONGC's oil and gas exploration, and has a growing machine tools manufacturing base.
Results are expected to be declared as counting progresses through the day.
