I came across this table below to identify the home state (Indian) to which a a BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd) cellphone belong to. For example, if the cell phone number is 9447100100, its first 4 digits are 9447, which belong to Kerala state as per the lookup table given below.

Andaman & Nicobar Islands (A&N) 9479, 9432
Andhra Pradesh (AP) 9473 , 9440, 9441
Assam 9478

Chennai 9470, 9444
Kolkata 9481
Gujrat 9457,9426
Haryana 9450, 9416
Himachal Pradesh (HP) 9451,9418
