02 · Overview

Barbil, in brief

Barbil is a town and a Municipal Council situated within the Kendujhar district of the state of Odisha, India. Known widely as Iron Town, the settlement rests at an average elevation of 477 meters or 1,565 feet above sea level.

The municipal area is fully encompassed by rugged terrain and elevated landforms, featuring the Kiriburu range running parallel to its borders. These surrounding hills are heavily covered by dense forests dominated primarily by Sal trees. Due to this close proximity to heavily wooded habitats, several recorded instances involve wild elephants wandering directly into the town.

Climatically, the municipality shares a tropical savanna climate, categorized under the Köppen Aw classification, similar to the broader state of Odisha. Despite this classification, its localized elevation yields average temperatures lower than those experienced across the majority of the state. While summer afternoons remain sweltering, winter mornings turn quite cool.

Administratively categorized as a fifth scheduled area under the constitution of India, the locality supports a population of 66,540 residents recorded during the 2011 India census, alongside an additional 50,000 people who come to Barbil for work. Governance and civic management include designated authorities such as a Tahasildar and an Executive Magistrate.
