The 1961 census did not count Madhoganj among the urban areas of Hardoi district, due to "non-fulfilment of urban conditions." [4] Madhoganj's market, held on Tuesdays and Fridays and mainly dealing in grain and kirana items, was recorded as having an average attendance of 6,000 people at the time. [4]

Economy

As of 1971, the economy of Madhoganj was described as a hybrid between the commercial, service, and industrial sectors. [5] The main items imported were jaggery, cloth, and raw groundnuts.
