It is non-native to Gujarat's climax forest biomes. Introduced to the semi-arid belts of Western India in antiquity via historical Silk Route exchanges, it is now extensively cultivated across Gujarat's arid and semi-arid districts. Major commercial pomegranate production belts (cultivating high-yield varieties such as Bhagwa, Sindhuri, and Dholka) thrive across Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Patan, Kutch (Nakhatrana, Mandvi), Surendranagar, and Bhavnagar.
