Geography

Kinwat is located at 19°38′N 78°12′E / 19.63°N 78.2°E / 19.63; 78.2 in the Indian state of Maharashtra in the district of Nanded. It has an average elevation of 314 meters (1030 feet). The Penganga River flows alongside the town while the Nagzari Dam is located just a few kilometers away from it. The dam is the only water source for nearby residents. Drinking water is taken from the deep ground levels by new colonies, leading to a possible cause for the sunken water table. The most popular residential area is SVM colony, Lecturer colony and Khoja colony. The city has few large-scale farms on Kinwat-Mandwa-Nagzari Road. Kinwat also has wide area forests. Kinwat has a waterfall at islapur, and hot springs at unkeshwar.

Transport

Kinwat has a railway station on the Mudkhed-Adilabad Meter Gauge (Now Broad Gauge) Section; previously, the Hyderabad (HYB) Division of the South Central Railway (SCR). After Divisional adjustments in 2003, which saw the bifurcation of Hyderabad Division, Kinwat is now under the Nanded (NED) Division of the SCR. The Mudkhed-Adilabad Meter Gauge Section has since then converted into Broad Gauge. Now the Broad Gauge, linking Kinwat to most of the major cities in India like Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Nagpur has created benefits for the citizens as it allows new trains to pass the station.
