Malout is a town, just outside of Muktsar Sahib city in the Muktsar district of the Indian state of Punjab. It is in the southern Punjab "cotton belt", where production per kilometer is one of the highest in India. Malout is on NH-354 and NH-9 and NH-7, which connects Fazilka to New Delhi. The boundaries of Haryana and Rajasthan are and , respectively, from the town. Malout is from the border with Pakistan, and has been affected by military incidents. Malout dates back several centuries and is closely associated with the Jaat Godara's (Chaudhary), who were among the earliest settlers and played a foundational role in establishing the town through their philanthropic contribution and influence leading to the major formation of Malout.
The name Malout is believed to derive from the words “Mal” (goods or wealth) and “Out” (outpost), reflecting its early role as a trading centre on the ancient route between Multan and Delhi during British Raj.”
