Indira Nagar is a residential area in the city of Srinagar in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It used to be a lake before but now only a few hundred meters of the lake are left.
This area comes under the control of Badami Bagh Cantonment along with other areas like Batwara, Shivpora, and Sonwar Bagh. The cantonment is responsible for maintaining the roads, street lights, and other infrastructure, unlike other areas of Srinagar, which are maintained by the Srinagar Municipal Corporation.
Kashmiri Pandits, Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus live in the area.
Over the years, this area has been commercialised by the construction of many hotels. It is located about 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) from the commercial hub of Kashmir, Lal Chowk. Indira Nagar is near G.B. Pant Children's Hospital. The pincode is 190004.
This area falls under the Sonwar constituency, for which the MLA is Mohammad Ashraf Mir.
