Wellington is a town in the Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu, India, situated approximately 3 km north of Coonoor along the NH-181 highway. The town is divided into two main areas: Wellington Bazaar and Wellington Cantonment, reflecting its dual commercial and military character.
The Wellington Cantonment is a significant military center, housing both the Madras Regimental Centre (MRC) and the Defence Services Staff College (DSSC). These institutions make Wellington an important location for Indian armed forces training and administration. The town is also served by rail infrastructure, with the Nilgiri passenger train operating through Wellington and a local railway station providing connectivity to the broader region.
