Emergency Contact Numbers for Highway Travellers

Save these before your next trip, not during an emergency. All of these are genuine, currently active numbers — nothing here is a guess.
The two numbers that matter most
112 — India's unified emergency number, connecting you to police, fire, and ambulance from a single call. It works even without a SIM card or active network, and on most smartphones, pressing the power button three times quickly triggers it automatically.
1033 — the National Highway Authority of India's dedicated helpline for breakdowns, accidents, and road hazards specifically on national highways. This is the number built for exactly the situation of being stuck on NH48 or NH66.
For medical emergencies specifically
108 is the government ambulance service active in most Indian states, including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka — the three states your journey likely passes through on these routes.
For roadside breakdowns specifically — towing, tyres, fuel, jumpstarts
This is where Jhatpat fits in. The numbers above are built for accidents and medical emergencies; for a straightforward breakdown — flat tyre, dead battery, empty tank, or needing a tow — call +91 82911 59911 directly, or share your live location on WhatsApp for the fastest dispatch.
A simple rule for which number to call
If anyone is hurt, call 112 first, always. If your vehicle has broken down but everyone is safe, Jhatpat gets you moving again faster than a general helpline that has to route your call through to a towing provider.
