Location

Bommidi is close to the Salem district border. It is connected by rail.[4] It is also nearer to its district capital Dharmapuri. A number of buses run from Dharmapuri to Salem via Bommidi. Bommidi is very close to Dharmapuri but due to lack of roads different route is used so the distance from Bommidi to Dharmapuri is 35 km, laying the roads for few km between Mittareddihalli and Kondagarahalli via Komberi Kanavaai will make Dharmapuri - Bommidi distance around 20 km.
