List of Indian cities and their abbreviation codes?

It's not common to use abbreviation codes for Indian cities in the way you might see for airports (e.g., "DEL" for Delhi).

However, here are some ways that abbreviations are used for Indian cities:

1. Postal Codes: These are the most common form of abbreviation for Indian cities. Each city has a unique 6-digit postal code. For example:

* Mumbai: 400001

* Delhi: 110001

* Kolkata: 700001

2. State Codes: Some cities might be referred to using a combination of their state code and a shortened version of the city name. For example:

* MH-MUM (Maharashtra - Mumbai)

* DL-DEL (Delhi - Delhi)

3. Airport Codes: While not abbreviations for the city itself, airport codes are sometimes used as a shorthand for the city, especially when referring to travel or transportation.

* DEL (Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi)

* BOM (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai)

* CCU (Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata)

Important Note: There's no standardized system for abbreviating Indian cities. The most common practice is to use postal codes or full city names.
