The Orange City — Geographical Heart of India
Nagpur sits at the precise geographic centre of India — so precisely that the Zero Mile Stone, the datum point from which all distances were measured during British India, stands here. The city is the winter capital of Maharashtra and a strategic hub connecting north, south, east and west through rail, road and air.
Renowned as the Orange Capital of India, Nagpur produces the world-famous GI-tagged Nagpur orange. The city anchors the MIHAN Special Economic Zone, one of Asia's largest greenfield airport-integrated projects.
Beyond commerce, Nagpur is the gateway to Central India's spectacular tiger corridor — placing it within a few hours' reach of Tadoba, Pench, Nagzira and several other protected reserves hosting Bengal tigers, leopards and hundreds of rare bird species.
