Before the inauguration of Khajuraho railway station, Harpalpur was the only railway station in Chhatarpur district. The municipality borders with Uttar Pradesh from three sides.
It has attracted many businessmen from the nearby Uttar Pradesh town of Rath who have settled here. Although it is a small town it has a relatively large number of mustard oil mills and various pulse mills[citation needed]. Padmashri Awadh Jadiya is from Harpalpur.
