'''Irugur''' is a suburb of [[Coimbatore|Coimbatore city]] in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]]. It is one of the fastest developing suburbs in the [[Coimbatore Metropolitan Area]]. It is located to the north of [[Trichy Road, Coimbatore|Trichy Road]] which is a part of National Highway [[National Highway 81 (India)|National Highway 81]].

==Geography==
Irugur is located at {{Coord|11.02|N|77.07|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/25/Irugur.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Irugur]</ref> It has an average elevation of 343 metres (1125 feet).

The name Irugur refers to Iru+Oor, i.e. Iru="two" and "Oor"=place in Tamil. Earlier these were two places separated by the river Noyyal.

Irugur is surrounded by the urban areas of the [[Coimbatore]] city limits such as
[[Ondipudur]], SIHS Colony on the west, Chinniyampalayam on the north and the suburban areas such as [[Pallapalayam, Coimbatore|Pallapalayam]] and Ottarpalayam on the east, Pattanam on the south. The [[Coimbatore International Airport]] is located to the north of Irugur.

==Demographics==
The total population in Irugur is 25,691 as per the survey of census during 2011 by Indian Government. There are 7,459 House Holds in Irugur. There are 12,909 males (50%) and 12,782 females(50%).The literacy rate is 78%.

==Transport==
There is an [[Irugur Junction railway station|Irugur Junction]] where most of Kerala trains are bypassed to [[Podanur Junction railway station|Podanur Junction]] without entering into [[Coimbatore]] city. Major Passengers trains and [[Mayiladuthurai-Coimbatore Jan Shatabdi Express|Jan Shatabdi]] express train have a stoppage at this railway station. Now at the current scenario, it has a great potential to become Coimbatore East Junction due to its proximity to certain major eastern suburbs of the Coimbatore City such as [[Pallapalayam, Coimbatore|Pallapalayam]], [[Sulur]], [[Karumathampatti]], Karanampettai, Chinniyampalayam, etc.
