Baramati

Baramati is a city, tehsil and municipal council in Pune district, Maharashtra, India, roughly 100 kilometres southeast of Pune and about 250 kilometres from Mumbai. It lies on the Deccan plateau at an average elevation of about 538 metres, and its surviving fortifications show it was once a fortified town that reached its greatest military importance under the Mughals. The 2011 census counted 54,415 people in the city and about 429,600 in the wider taluka. Agriculture dominates the surrounding economy, with sugarcane, grapes, jowar, cotton and wheat irrigated from the Nira Left Canal, and several cooperative sugar factories. Industry ranges from steel processing to winemaking, and firms such as Piaggio, Ferrero and Kalyani Steels have plants here.
