📍 Geographic Location of Shirala, Maharashtra
Overview
The +91 2345 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Shirala region in the state of Maharashtra, India. Shirala is a town and a municipal council in the Sangli district, located in the western part of Maharashtra. This code is used for landline (fixed-line) telephone services within the Shirala telephone exchange area, which includes the town and its surrounding villages.
Geographic Coverage
The 2345 code covers the Shirala sub-district (taluka) and its administrative jurisdiction. Key locations served include Shirala town itself, along with nearby villages such as Ashta, Kameri, and others within the taluka. The region is part of the Pune telecom district, but the local exchange is managed by the Maharashtra circle of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other private operators.
Dialing Formats
For callers within India (excluding the local area), the dialing format is: 0 2345 XXXXX. For example, to call a landline number in Shirala from another city in India, you would dial 0 2345 12345 (assuming a 5-digit subscriber number).
For international callers, the format is: +91 2345 XXXXX. For instance, from the United States, you would dial 011 91 2345 12345 or +91 2345 12345 from a mobile phone.
Local calls within the Shirala exchange area (without the area code) may require only the subscriber number, depending on the local dialing plan. However, with the implementation of the National Numbering Plan, 10-digit dialing is now mandatory for all fixed-line calls across India. Therefore, even local calls must include the area code.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for the Shirala area; the 2345 code is exclusive to this region. Subscriber numbers in this area typically consist of 5 digits, resulting in a total local number length of 10 digits (including the area code). The prefix 2345 is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in India start with 6, 7, 8, or 9 and are non-geographic.
