Loni sits on the Delhi-UP border in Ghaziabad district. The Delhi Metro Pink Line serves it directly at Shiv Vihar station; Shahdara and Seelampur metro stations are about 8 km away.

Road access runs via Wazirabad Road and the Delhi-Saharanpur Road, linking Loni to Old Delhi, Ghaziabad, Baghpat, Meerut and Saharanpur, with UPSRTC buses from a depot near Loni crossing. Loni has its own railway halts (Noli, Behta Hajipur) on Northern Railway's Shahdara-Shamli-Saharanpur route.

Hindon Airport is about 11 km away; Indira Gandhi International Airport about 35 km.

Loni has a cluster of state-board and CBSE schools within a few kilometres of the centre, including Raj Inter College, Loni Inter College and JD Public School, each roughly 2-2.2 km from central Loni per locality mapping.

Provision is concentrated at the school level; formal higher-education/university options within Loni itself are limited, and locality reviews note residents describe local educational institutions as insufficient relative to the population.

Loni is one of Ghaziabad district's older industrial pockets. GDA's draft Loni Master Plan 2031 zones parts of the area for Small & Light Industry, Medium Industry and UPSIDC industry alongside residential, commercial and institutional use.

Loni is also the terminus of GAIL's 1,927 km Jamnagar-Loni LPG pipeline, and the area has a strong rental market driven by workers employed in nearby industrial zones.

Loni is primarily a residential-industrial locality rather than a tourism destination, and no major heritage monuments, museums or tourist facilities within Loni's own boundaries are documented in locality-guide sources.

Locality guides instead point visitors to attractions in the wider surrounding area, such as the ISKCON Temple in Sahibabad, Gaur Central Mall, and City Forest on the banks of the Hindon river, rather than within Loni itself.

Entertainment options within Loni are modest and mostly neighbourhood-level: local eateries such as Red Chilli, Shree Om Chinese Fast Food and Blue Heart Fast Food Point, and small parks including Shaheed Bhagat Singh Park, Lal Bagh B Block Park and Dhanvati Garden.

Resident reviews note very few organised shopping or entertainment options and limited green space, with larger malls and multiplexes located outside Loni in wider Ghaziabad.

Civic infrastructure includes Amrit Multispeciality Hospital and other clinics within about 2-3 km of central Loni, several bank branches/ATMs (HDFC Bank, SBI, Axis Bank, Corporation Bank), and UPSRTC bus services, with stops such as Seemapuri Depot (4.5 km) and DLF More Dilshad Plaza (3.4 km).

The Uttar Pradesh government has moved to merge Loni's Nagar Palika Parishad into an expanded 'Greater Ghaziabad' municipal corporation, and GDA has introduced a faster GIS-based building-plan approval system.
