Districts of Faisalabad Division

Faisalabad District

The division’s administrative and economic headquarters and Pakistan’s primary textile capital. An agri-industrial district contributing about $5 billion to national GDP through textile exports, with 137 textile spinning units, 250 dyeing & processing units, 300 embroidery units, and over 56,000 power looms across 6 tehsils, 1 Municipal Corporation, 7 Municipal Committees, and 842 villages—Pakistan’s third-largest metropolis.

Chiniot District

On the western bank of the Chenab River; carved out of Jhang in July 2009. Celebrated globally for exquisite wood carving, master-crafted furniture, and Mughal-inspired heritage such as the Umar Hayat Mahal—a crucial artisan-driven territory within the division.

Jhang District

Along the riverine corridors of central Punjab—a major agricultural territory in the division, with highly seasonal agro-industrial activity and a severe structural imbalance between municipal towns and underserved rural farming tehsils.

Toba Tek Singh District

Carved out as an independent administrative territory from Faisalabad in 1982, sits centrally within the division. Known historically for its rapid agricultural colonization under the British canal layouts, it has transitioned into a prominent textile, poultry, and agricultural processing centre, famed globally for its high-yield citrus (Kinnow) orchards and grain markets.
