How the Plan Developed
The National Numbering Plan 2003 standardized ten-digit national significant numbers and organized fixed-line numbering around Short Distance Charging Areas. TRAI reviewed the plan in 2024 and issued recommendations in February 2025; proposals are not presented here as active unless adopted by the Department of Telecommunications.
Coverage and identity limitation
Indian STD codes vary in length and cover charging areas rather than perfectly matching city or state boundaries. Number portability means mobile prefixes are not reliable indicators of the current operator.
Common questions
India Phone Code FAQ
What is the country calling code for India?
India uses country calling code +91.
Do I keep the domestic prefix when using +91?
No. Remove the leading domestic trunk zero before adding +91.
Can an area code identify a caller’s exact location?
No. It describes a numbering area or historic allocation, and portability, forwarding and internet telephony can separate a number from the caller’s present location.
