Utilities Apps in India

Save the national emergency number 112 and the multilingual tourist helpline 1363 or 1800-11-1363 before travel. The official 112 India app can send an emergency request with identity and location data to the relevant control room across all states and union territories, but calling 112 remains the simplest option when possible. Set up the app and permissions before an emergency, and do not assume that a data connection or precise GPS fix will always be available. India e-Arrival Card is the free government web form for foreigners and OCI cardholders to submit arrival information within 72 hours before entry. It is not a visa and should be completed only on the official government domain. Weather and air quality vary dramatically by region and season. MAUSAM is the India Meteorological Department's official forecast and warning app. Follow cyclone, heavy-rain, heat and severe-weather instructions from authorities and accommodation staff, and never continue a road or trekking plan merely because a general forecast looks acceptable. Sameer publishes official Central Pollution Control Board air-quality information. Read the timestamp and monitoring-station location because conditions vary within a city and a single number may not reflect your exact exposure. People with respiratory or cardiac conditions should follow professional medical advice rather than relying on an app alone. Keep passport, visa, insurance and emergency contacts available offline. Current travel advisories may include region-specific restrictions that no utility app replaces.
