I’ll quote two previous posts I made:

@DarkDeviL

As one single IP address can only have one single set of information (e.g. country, state, city, …) attached at a time, any attempts to use such “geolocation” to determine the actual “destination country” on IP addresses used with anycast, or other sort of multi-homing as well, will always be whacky, if ever successful in any way.

With Anycast, or other kind of multi-homed IP addresses, the most common would be to see the IP addresses as showing up with the country code of the person/organisation that the IP addresses are allocated to.

Anycast and Geolocation does not go hand in hand.

IP addresses does only have one single location assigned in such IP location databases, and as such, it would be quite impossible for IP space that is running anycast - running in dozens to hundreds of locations worldwide, to be showing any sort of useful location information ever.

On top of that it does also depend on the individual IP location database, and how they do things.

For IP space that is running anycast, I wouldn’t expect any other location than the headquarters of the company holding the IP space, which would be United States (US) in your situation, because that’s where Cloudflare has it’s headquarters.

If you actually have a server in Mumbai, you can set the Proxy status to Unproxied () / DNS-only, so the traffic goes directly to your own server.

In other words, avoiding the use of CDN providers in front of your website, as that will be your only way for a steady “geo location”.

Its there any other options to do so

Ignoring that it may be showing up as United States (US) on some websites, can serve as another option.

Other than that, - there are no other options.
