Using a blank map of Indian states and union territories

This page gives you the Indian states and union territories as a file to use in your own work. With borders draws all 28 states and 8 union territories with no names on them, and this page puts it first. Outline only is the shape of the whole place with no inner lines. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

A regional page in your own layout

Put the With borders PNG into a document and write a few lines beside each state a report covers, with a thin line from each note to its shape. The list further down this page gives the spelling of every state and union territory.

A slide or a design with one state in view

The PNG sits on a slide without a box around it, because the background is transparent. Colour one state in your slide software to make it the subject of a regional slide, and leave the rest pale. In Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, the SVG gives you every state as its own shape for a poster or a report cover.

Which version and which file

With borders is the version for labelling, quizzes and colouring individual states; it draws the 28 states and 8 union territories and nothing more. Outline only is for a title slide or a shape on its own. Take a PNG for slides and worksheets, an SVG for design tools and a PDF for A4 or Letter.
