Fouladpur City is an ancient historical village in Alwar district of Rajasthan, India, situated at 118 km from Delhi and 154 km from Jaipur on the Delhi-Jaipur highway in Neemrana tehsil. It is situated in between Neemrana and Shahajahanpur. Fouladpur, also known as Phouladpur, is an industrial and real estate hub. This area is also known as Ahirwal region. Popular town around Fouladpur is Neemrana, one of the fastest-growing cities on Rajasthan. Neemrana is the site of a 16th-century hill-fort occupied by Chauhans till 1947. The erstwhile ruling family is considered to be of the direct lineage of Prithviraj Chauhan. Some distance from Neemrana is another fort, Kesroli in Alwar district, that is one of the oldest heritage sites. Historians trace it to the Matsya Janapada of the Mahabharata times. In Kesroli one gets to see the oldest remains of Buddhist Vihara at Viratnagar where the Pandavas spent the last year of their exile incognito; Pandupole, with the only reclining statue of Hanuman; the samadhi of the ruler saint Bhartrihari.
