Sanjay Place (Hindi: संजय प्लेस, Urdu: سنجے پلیس) Agra, India. It is the financial hub of Agra. It is a big market of electrical, communication, electronic items. It also has multiple government offices of Agra district like income tax office, LIC district quarters etc. Its a good place for food lovers due to multiple chain restaurant and small eateries present there.
The area which is now known as Sanjay Palace was actually a central Jail. Then in 1976 during Indira Gandhi's emergency (1975–77) saw the shifting of the Central Jail to a new site outside the city periphery. The space vacated has now been used for the Sanjay Place commercial complexes. The name Sanjay is after Indira Gandhi's son who was instrumental in this shift.
