Native to Gujarat's dry deciduous forests, mixed scrub woodlands, and hilly riverine valleys. It occurs naturally in the forest tracts of South Gujarat (The Dangs, Valsad, Navsari, Narmada, Chhota Udepur), the Aravalli-outlier ridges of North Gujarat (Sabarkantha, Banaskantha, Aravalli), and the Gir and Barda forest ecosystems of Saurashtra. Furthermore, high-yielding commercial horticultural cultivars (such as Chakaiya, Krishna, Kanchan, and NA-7) are widely grown across agroforestry farm holdings in Anand, Kheda, Vadodara, Mehsana, and Sabarkantha.
