Much of the village land has been converted to commercial use, mainly through Special Economic Zone (SEZ) projects or for brick kilns (known as "bhatta" industries). Badli serves as a central point among several cities: Gurgaon (25 km), Bahadurgarh (18 km), Farrukhnagar (15 km), Jhajjar (15 km), and Najafgarh/Delhi (18 km). The village is strategically connected by the KMP (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) Expressway, which links it to major industrial cities in both Delhi and Haryana. The KMP Expressway has enhanced road connectivity for Badli, and Dr. Arvind Sharma (Member of Parliament, Rohtak, 2019-2024) has initiated efforts to connect the village by rail as well. The railway project is currently in the land acquisition stage. The pollution level in Badli is considerably high due to the presence of brick manufacturing units and a lack of sufficient attention from both the state and central governments.
