Talukas are selected by administrative type and district identity. Locality and building results are excluded by type, not by words in their names.
Data sources & coverage
Nationwide base: GeoNames India dump, CC BY 4.0. Snapshot: —. Its third-level administrative records supply talukas/subdistricts; administrative names and coverage can be outdated.
Pilot supplements: the published taluka lists of Surat district and Junagadh district, checked on 10 November 2026. These replace the base taluka list for those two districts. Other districts still use the base snapshot.
Geoapify resolves cities only; API neighbourhoods and housing developments cannot become talukas. In API city lookup mode, talukas still come from the administrative directory.
A current official LGD export is needed to validate nationwide administrative completeness. No unverified LGD mirror was imported.
