    Hello, @Martin Thong !

    Where can I find a full list of Azure locations in India?

    Within the context of an Azure service, the Azure Products by Region page contains the official list where we see Central India, South India, and West India:

    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=virtual-machines&regions=central-india,south-india,west-india

    We can also confirm this in the portal or by using a CLI command like az account list-locations -o table. If we omit the -o table, we get latitude and longitude which we can use to confirm the location:

    India Central (Pune) - 18.5822, 73.9197

    enter image description here

    India West (Mumbai) - 19.088, 72.868

    enter image description here

    India South (Chennai) - 12.9822, 80.1636

    enter image description here

    One of the points of confusion here is the distinction between the Azure Geographies page and the Azure Regions page.

    • An Azure geography contains one or more regions and meets specific data residency and compliance requirements.
    • An Azure region is a geographical area that contains at least one data center.
