Zero Mile in Nagpur lies precisely at the centre of the country with the Zero Mile Marker indicating the geographical centre of old British India. The Zero Milestone was erected by the British who used this point to measure all the distances. The Zero Milestone consists of four horses and a pillar made up of sandstone.

The Zero Milestone was built during the Great Trigonometrical Survey of British India in 1907 in Nagpur. The project, basically, was to demarcate the British territories in India. This was the project under which our great mountains were also measured. Basically, the entire subcontinent was mapped.

Type 0 referred to the year of the emperor's reign when production of Zero fighters began in 2600 on the imperial calendar (Julian calendar year 1940). Pilots called it the Zero even after the official codename became 'Zeke' in 1942.
