Sakri is a census town[1] and a taluka in the Dhule District of the Nashik division, Maharashtra state, India. The town of Sakri is the administrative headquarters for Sakri Taluka.[2] Another Sakri[vague] is in Bihar, which is now a railway junction.[citation needed]

Sakri is a Nagar Panchayat. The people there are mostly Hindu with Jain, Muslim and Sikh minorities. The languages mostly spoken are Marathi, Ahirani and Bhili.

This highway connects it with to the larger Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) which once completed will be game changing for the industrial investments and growth.
