Market brief
Yadgir in seven lines
From the Yadgir district administration, Invest India's ODOP list, Meta's pricing documentation and, for history and general profile, Wikipedia.
- 01
Yadgir district came into existence on 30 December 2009 as Karnataka's 30th district; locals call the town Yadavagiri, and the Yadavas ruled from it from 1347 to 1425.[1]
- 02
The district has six taluks, Shahapur, Wadgera, Hunasagi, Surapura, Yadgir and Gurmatkal, and the Krishna and Bhima rivers flow through it.[4]
- 03
Its black soil grows red gram and jowar, which is why it is called the Daal Bowl of the state; cement, textile, leather and chemical production make up its industry.[4]
- 04
Invest India's ODOP list names pharmaceuticals for Yadagiri, with cotton and cotton-based products as its second entry.[2]
- 05
The Bhima flows through the town, whose hill fort has three rounds of fortifications; Yadgir station is a broad-gauge stop in the South Central Railway's Guntakal division.[3]
- 06
The district's sights include Bonal Bird Sanctuary, Wanadurga Fort, the Chand Huseni Darga at Gogi and Basava Sagar dam at Narayanpur.[1]
- 07
Meta charges per delivered message, by category and by the recipient's country calling code; outside the 24 hours after a customer writes, a business can send only templates.[5]

One toor dal order from a Yadgir mill
A grocery wholesaler asks a Yadgir dal mill for this week's rate. Step through the chat to see where replies end and templates begin.
The rate, the photos and any back-and-forth about grades are replies at ₹0.145 each. The confirmation and the dispatch note are utility templates at ₹0.19, because they report on an order the wholesaler placed.
Write the two templates once, in Kannada and English, and let the billing system fill the order number, the bags and the lorry. The 24-hour window explains when a reply stops being a reply.

Who messages what
Who in Yadgir needs a WhatsApp number that a team answers
Four kinds of business that follow from the district's red gram, its ODOP entries, its industry and its sights.
| Sector | What it sends on WhatsApp |
|---|---|
| Red gram traders and dal millsThe district's black soil grows red gram, the reason it is called the Daal Bowl, so wholesalers ask for rates, grades and lorry dates.[4] |
|
| Cement, textile and leather unitsCement, textile and leather production make up much of the district's industry, and buyers ask about grades and dispatches. Pharmaceuticals, the ODOP entry, and the district's chemical output stay off WhatsApp: Meta's policy bars drug sales and hazardous goods.[2],[4] |
|
| Cotton buyers and tradersCotton and cotton-based products are the district's second ODOP entry, so growers across the six taluks ask when to bring their crop.[2],[4] |
|
| Guest houses and cabs for Bonal and NarayanpurBonal Bird Sanctuary, Wanadurga Fort and Basava Sagar dam at Narayanpur bring visitors who ask about rooms and cars before they travel.[1],[3] |
|
Kannada first, Urdu and Telugu beside it
Kannada is the official language, and Urdu, Telugu and Hindi are among the district's other languages. All four are Meta template languages, each version approved separately; Lambadi is spoken too, but is not one.
For Lambadi-speaking growers, send the template in Kannada or Hindi and answer their replies in Lambadi: inside the 24-hour window any language works. InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

Questions Yadgir businesses ask
- Wholesalers in Hyderabad ask our Yadgir dal mill for this week's toor dal rate. Do our answers need templates?
- No. The wholesaler wrote first, so for 24 hours the rate, the grade photos and the bag count go back as replies at ₹0.145 each. An order confirmation from your billing system is a utility template at ₹0.19, and so is the dispatch note after the window closes.
- Yadgir is the state's Daal Bowl and our mill sends a lorry most days. Can the dispatch note go out by itself when the lorry leaves?
- Yes. Save the dispatch in your billing system and let it call InfiQ's API with the order number, the lorry number and the driver's phone as template variables. Each note is a utility template at ₹0.19, approved once by Meta.
- Our cement unit in Yadgir district sends dispatch notes to dealers by lorry. Is that utility or marketing?
- Utility. A note about an order the dealer placed, with its lorry, grade and invoice details, is a utility template at ₹0.19. A message about a new grade or a scheme is marketing at ₹0.94 and goes only to dealers who opted in to offers. Pharma and chemical units are different: Meta's policy bars drug sales and hazardous goods on WhatsApp.
- Some cotton growers who sell to us in Yadgir district speak Lambadi. Can our weighment slips be in Lambadi?
- Not as a template: Lambadi is not one of Meta's template languages. Send the slip in Kannada (kn) or Hindi (hi), both of which are, and answer the grower's questions in Lambadi inside the 24-hour window, where any language works.
- Birdwatchers heading to Bonal Bird Sanctuary ask our Yadgir guest house about rooms. Do we need a template to reply?
- No. They wrote first, so rooms, rates and the location pin go back as replies at ₹0.145 within 24 hours. A booking confirmation or a reminder sent after that window has closed is a utility template at ₹0.19.
- Our Yadgir trading firm buys cotton from growers in Surapura and Shahapur taluks. Can we tell them all at once when buying opens?
- Only those who agreed to hear from you. A buying-dates notice to growers who opted in is usually a marketing template at ₹0.94; growers who reply open a window, and your answers about rates are replies at ₹0.145.
