'''Kamrup Metropolitan district''' is one of the 34 [[Districts of Assam|districts]] in [[Assam]] state in north-eastern [[India]]. It was carved out of the erstwhile [[undivided Kamrup district]] in 2003 and covers an area equivalent to the area under the jurisdiction of the [[Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority]] area. Dispur Legislative Assembly Constituency in Kamrup Metro district with 3.53 lakh voters is the largest constituency in Assam.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/KamrupMetro-plan-to-increase-voters-turnout/articleshow/51275206.cms|title=Kamrup(Metro) plan to increase voters' turnout}}</ref>

==History==
It was created on 3 February 2003 by bifurcating the erstwhile [[Kamrup district]].<ref name='Statoids'>{{cite web | url = http://www.statoids.com/yin.html | title = Districts of India | access-date = 2011-10-11 | last = Law | first = Gwillim | date = 2011-09-25 | work = Statoids}}</ref>

The Government of Assam, during the Chief-ministership of Late Tarun Gogoi, had proposed to bifurcate it further and create a new district, named East Kamrup. In 2016, the process of creation of the district was started.<ref>{{Cite news|agency=Press Trust of India|date=2016-01-27|title=Assam issues notification to form new administrative districts|work=Business Standard India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/assam-issues-notification-to-form-new-administrative-districts-116012701006_1.html|access-date=2021-05-10}}</ref> But later that year, the process of creation was stopped midway due to lack of infrastructure.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Desk|first=Sentinel Digital|title=Revocation of East Kamrup, South Kamrup districts begins - Sentinelassam|url=https://www.sentinelassam.com/guwahati-today/revocation-of-east-kamrup-south-kamrup-districts-begins/|access-date=2021-05-10|website=The Sentinel Assam|language=en}}</ref>
