History
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.
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.
