Naroda is a suburban town in Bapunagar, northeast of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. With the establishment of the Naroda Industrial Area in the 1980s, the town flourished; it was incorporated into Ahmedabad in 1996. Being eight km from Ahmedabad International Airport and located on the SP Ring Road, Naroda is situated on the emerging Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad-Vadodara (GAV) corridor.

Naroda is located at 23°05′N 72°40′E / 23.083°N 72.667°E / 23.083; 72.667.

Naroda is three miles from Ahmedabad(8 km), near the intersection of National Highway No. 8 and National Highway 59. It is near Bapunagar, which has a diamond market. Kalupur, the geographic center of Ahmedabad, is at a distance of 5 km.

Naroda has two parts: Juna Naroda (Old Naroda) and Nava Naroda (New Naroda). At the center of Naroda (called Naroda Gam or Naroda Bazaar) are an old fountain and a newly developed park.

During the 2002 Gujarat riots Naroda Patiya witnessed some of the worst communal violence.

Naroda has over the last two years transformed from a neglected industrial area to desirable location for homes. The population of the town is a mix of people from throughout India, but it is predominantly a Hindu population, with a minority of Malayalis who have been residing here for the last two decades.
