Geographic Coverage and Administration
Nilanga is a taluka headquarters located in the southern part of Maharashtra, near the Karnataka border. The 2384 area code serves the administrative jurisdiction of Nilanga taluka, including key localities such as Nilanga town, and nearby villages like Shirur Tajband, Murud, and others.

The code is administered by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and other licensed telecom operators, as part of the Maharashtra telecom circle.
Dialing Formats
For callers within India, the local dialing format for Nilanga numbers is: 02384-XXXXXX (where X is the subscriber number, typically 6 digits). For international callers, the format is: +91 2384 XXXXXX. When dialing from a mobile phone within India, the same STD code 02384 must be used, even if the caller is in the same area code region, unless the number is a local call within the same exchange (in which case direct 6-digit dialing may be possible).
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for the Nilanga area; 2384 remains the sole geographic code for the region. However, with the increasing demand for fixed-line connections, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) may introduce additional digits or overlays in the future. Subscriber numbers are typically 6 digits long, making the total length of a local number 10 digits (including the STD code) when dialed from outside the local area.
Caller Instructions
For local callers within Nilanga: if you are calling a number within the same exchange, you may dial only the 6-digit subscriber number. For callers from other parts of India, you must dial 02384 followed by the subscriber number. For international callers, dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then 91 (India's country code), then 2384, and finally the subscriber number. Example: To call a Nilanga number 123456 from the US, dial 011 91 2384 123456.
