Source identity and administrative path
The source row behind Pimpri-Chinchwad is GeoNames ID 7626690. Its recorded administrative path is Pune Division → Maharashtra → India, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Pimpri-Chinchwad occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2026-01-08; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist. Read as one record signature, GeoNames 7626690, the coordinate pair 18.6187 / 73.8038, country rank 20 of 109, and neighbor GeoNames 1259652 at 0.581 km bind Pimpri-Chinchwad to a reproducible comparison. That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Coordinate, time-zone and class cohorts
Pimpri-Chinchwad's reference point is 18.6187° north and 73.8038° east. The IANA identifier Asia/Kolkata is shared by 109 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows. Pimpri-Chinchwad's row carries both second- and first-order administrative labels. Pimpri-Chinchwad's point falls in the lower-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Pimpri-Chinchwad's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly. GeoNames supplies no elevation for Pimpri-Chinchwad, so the profile preserves that missing value instead of guessing terrain. Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
