- The parent of this WikiProject are WikiProject India and WikiProject Maps
Scope – NPOV maps related to India (post-1947) and historical pre-Independence India (includes the South Asian nations of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan). The secondary goal would be to get NPOV maps for Pakistan, PRC, Afghanistan and Bhutan since they border disputed territories of India.

Thematic maps
for more and updated information about indian census or maps
Using locator maps
Locator maps for cities are automatically added when the Infobox Indian Jurisdiction is used and latitude and logitude parameters are provided. If a locator map needs to be added to a section in an article, then use Location map template. Find below some examples.
Usage
{{Location map|India
|label=label
|position=left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right
|background=color - background color for the label, defaults to none
|lat=latitude in degrees
|long=longitude in degrees
|mark=image file name - a red dot by default
|caption=caption - caption below the map
|float=left or right or none
|width=width of the map
}}
Examples
{{Location map|India|float=none|label=Mumbai|lat=18.96|long=72.82|position=left}}
{{Location map|India|float=left|width=100|label=Thiruvananthapuram|lat=8.5|long=76.9|caption=Thiruvananthapuram is the capital city of Kerala}}
{{Location map|India|float=right|label=Chennai|lat=13.09|long=80.27|background=white}}
cvvcc
{{location map+|India|float=none|width=270|caption=Metropolitan cities of India|places=
{{location map~|India|label=[[Mumbai]]|position=right|lat=18.96|long=72.82}}
{{location map~|India|label=[[Chennai]]|position=right|lat=13.09|long=80.27}}
{{location map~|India|label=[[Delhi]]|position=left|lat=28.35|long=77.13}}

Border styles
| Style | Used for | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Thick line | Primary borders | Use a thick line for the primary (usually political) borders on a map. If the map primarily depicts a country, use a thick line for the country borders; if a state, the state borders. |
| Thin line | Secondary borders | Use a thin line (approximately 1/2 the thickness of the primary borders) for secondary boundaries. If a state map shows counties, use a thin line for county borders. |
| Italic font | Bodies of water | Use an italicized font for labelling bodies of water: oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. |
| All-caps font | Primary regions | Use a font in all-capital letters for labelling primary regions of interest: country names, state names, etc. |
| Mixed case font | Secondary regions | Use mixed case (capital followed by lowercase) for regions of secondary interest: provinces in a country map, counties in a state map, etc. |
