Area Code 1252 – Loharu, Haryana

Geographic Overview

The +91 1252 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Loharu region in the state of Haryana, India. Loharu is a small town and municipal committee in the Bhiwani district, located in the western part of Haryana. The code covers Loharu and its surrounding areas, including nearby villages and towns such as Badhra, Charkhi Dadri (partially), and other localities within the Bhiwani district's western tehsils. The region is primarily agricultural, with emerging small-scale industries.

Dialing Formats

For callers within India, the local dialing format for numbers in the 1252 area code is 0-1252-XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the 6-digit local subscriber number). For example, a local call to a landline in Loharu would be dialed as 01252-XXXXXX. For international callers, the format is +91-1252-XXXXXX (or 011-91-1252-XXXXXX when dialing from North America). For instance, an international caller would dial +91 1252 123456 to reach a subscriber with the local number 123456.

Regulatory and Administrative Context

The 1252 code is administered by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, Government of India. It falls under the Haryana telecom circle. As per the National Numbering Plan, this is a geographic code, meaning that the number is tied to a specific physical location. The subscriber numbers under this code are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total of 10 digits for the complete national significant number (NSN) when including the area code (excluding the leading 0).

Overlay and Dialing Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 1252 area. Therefore, local calls within the same STD code area can be made by dialing only the 6-digit subscriber number. However, calls from other STD code areas within India must include the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code. With the implementation of the new numbering plan, some regions in India have migrated to 10-digit landline numbers, but for 1252, the traditional 6-digit format remains in use. Callers should always verify the exact number of digits with their service provider.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within the 1252 area: simply dial the 6-digit number. For national callers from other parts of India: dial 0-1252-XXXXXX. For international callers: dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by 91, then 1252, and the 6-digit local number. Ensure that you do not include the leading 0 of the area code when dialing internationally.
