Nilai is a city located in Seremban District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, located close to the border with Selangor. It is the northern suburb within the Seremban metropolitan area, as well as part of the Greater Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area.
Due to its proximity to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, it is a rapidly growing city. Nilai is almost halfway between the state capital Seremban and Kajang, Selangor, and lies on the railway linking these two cities. It is also the southern terminus of MSC Malaysia and the northern anchor of the Malaysia Vision Valley corridor.
Development projects can be seen as one drive around Nilai. Some of Malaysia's most well-known colleges and two universities are located in Nilai: Nilai University, INTI International University, Manipal International University, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia and Islamic University College of Malaysia. As a result, the town is occupied by students from all over the world.
Nilai has become a popular shopping town with the establishment of several major shopping malls such as Nilai 3 Wholesale Centre, Nilai Square, AEON Mall, Mydin, Giant Hypermarket, Lotus's and Econsave. MesaMall is the newest addition, having been opened in 2017.
