Vijay Nagar sits between MR-9, MR-10 and the Eastern Ring Road in eastern Indore, directly on the AB Road corridor. City buses connect the area on routes such as Panchwati-Vaishali Nagar and Aurobindo Hospital-Mhow Naka, and the Indore Metro's Yellow Line is being extended toward Radisson Square nearby, adding a rapid-transit link once complete.

Indore Junction railway station and Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport are both a short drive away.

Vijay Nagar has its own VIBGYOR Group of Schools campus, giving families a well-known K-12 option inside the locality.

Indore was the first Indian city to have both an IIT and an IIM, and Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya's Takshila campus, one of DAVV's two campuses in the city, is a short drive away, adding to the higher-education options within easy reach.

Vijay Nagar is Indore's major commercial hub, and Scheme 78 itself includes IDA-designated industrial plots alongside the Lohamandi hardware and iron-trade market.

Corporate occupiers such as Accenture operate offices in the locality too, rounding out a business mix built on retail, hospitality and services rather than heavy manufacturing.

Shopping and dining are Vijay Nagar's calling card, with malls including C-21, Malhar Mega Mall, Mangal City and Orbit lining the area alongside a dense strip of restaurants and cafes.

Hotels such as Marriott and Sayaji add banquet and event venues, making the Vijay Nagar Square area one of Indore's busiest evening-out destinations.

The locality was laid out by the Indore Development Authority under Scheme 78, giving it planned roads and civic infrastructure rather than organic, unplanned growth.

A new RW-3 road is proposed near Puwarda-Junarda behind the Sayaji Hotel in Vijay Nagar, part of IDA's continued road investment in the area.
