📍 Geographic Location of Latur, Maharashtra
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
Area code +91 2382 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Latur and its surrounding areas in the state of Maharashtra, India. Latur serves as the administrative headquarters of Latur district and is a significant urban center in the Marathwada region. The code covers the urban agglomeration of Latur city, including nearby towns and villages within the district's telecom jurisdiction, such as Ausa, Nilanga, and Udgir (though some of these may have their own local codes). The service area is defined by the telecom infrastructure of BSNL and other operators under the jurisdiction of the Maharashtra circle.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within India, dialing a landline in Latur requires the STD code 02382 followed by the local 7-digit subscriber number. For example, to call a Latur landline number 1234567 from another city in India, you would dial 02382 1234567. However, if you are calling from within Latur itself, you can often omit the STD code and dial just the 7-digit number, depending on the operator's local dialing rules.
For international callers, the format is +91 2382 1234567 (or +91-2382-1234567). The country code for India is +91, and the leading '0' of the STD code is dropped when dialing from abroad. This format is essential for proper routing through international gateways.
Numbering Plan and Overlay Considerations
Latur follows the standard Indian numbering plan, where the NDC (2382) is followed by a 7-digit subscriber number, resulting in a total of 10 digits for the complete national significant number (NDC + subscriber number). As of the latest updates, there is no overlay code for Latur; the 2382 code is the sole geographic code for the area. However, with the growth of telecommunications, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may introduce additional codes or overlays in the future to meet demand.
Practical Usage and Caller Tips
When calling a Latur landline from a mobile phone within India, it is common to prefix the number with the STD code even if you are in the same city, as mobile networks often require the full 10-digit number for routing. For international callers, it is crucial to use the correct exit code of their country (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries) before dialing India's country code and the area code. Always verify the subscriber number length, as some older numbers may have fewer digits, but the standard is 7 digits.
