From the Nandurbar district administration's pages and Invest India's ODOP list.

Gujarat lies to the north-west and Madhya Pradesh to the north-east, and some border villages, such as Khedidigar and Khetia, are divided between Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.[1]

Which languages a Nandurbar business approves
A chilli powder unit in Nandurbar sells to shops in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, and its growers and staff speak Ahirani and Bhili among themselves. Tick off the language set-up before the first template goes to Meta.
Three template languages cover the district's buyers, and the rest of its languages live in replies, which need no approval. A grower who writes in Ahirani can be answered in Ahirani, at the service rate, for 24 hours after each message.
Meta reviews each language version on its own, so approval of the Marathi template does not carry over to the Gujarati one.

Questions Nandurbar businesses ask
Question: Our chilli powder unit in Nandurbar sells to shops in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Which template languages should we approve?
Answer: Marathi (mr) for your Maharashtra customers, Gujarati (gu) for shops towards the Gujarat border and Hindi (hi) for Madhya Pradesh, each approved by Meta as its own version. Keep a language field on each contact so every order note goes out in the version that shop reads.
Question: Growers around Nandurbar write to us in Ahirani and Bhili. Can we answer them in those languages?
Answer: Yes, in replies. Inside the 24-hour window after a grower's message, your staff can answer in Ahirani, Bhili or any language at ₹0.145 per message. Templates, which you need to write first, must be in a Meta template language such as Marathi or Hindi.
Question: Families book rooms by Yashwant Lake at Toranmal through our desk. Can the confirmation go on WhatsApp?
Answer: Yes. A booking confirmation for a stay the family booked is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the dates, the room and the check-in time as variables. Their questions about the road up or the weather are replies, free of a template, inside the 24-hour window.
Question: Our cloth shop in Nandurbar wants to send new-stock offers to customers in Marathi and in Gujarati. How do we send each the right one?
Answer: Approve the offer as a marketing template with Marathi and Gujarati versions, then send it to opted-in customers segmented by language, at ₹0.94 per delivered message. Customers who never agreed to offers should be asked first, and InfiQ records each yes.
Question: Our shop near Khetia serves customers on both the Maharashtra and the Madhya Pradesh side of the village. Does the state change what WhatsApp costs?
Answer: No. Meta charges by the customer's country code, so a customer on an Indian number costs the India rate on either side of the border. Your InfiQ invoice carries your own Maharashtra GSTIN whichever state your customers live in.
Question: Visitors to Prakasha on the Tapi ask our Shahada cab desk about timings and fares. Do our answers need a template?
Answer: No. The visitor wrote first, so for 24 hours your timings, fares and the driver's number are ordinary replies at ₹0.145 each. Once they book, a pickup note with the car and driver can follow as a utility template if the chat has gone quiet.
