The Battle of Udgir is a 18th century battle that occurred during the 7-year war on 3 February 1760 in Udgir between the Maratha Empire and the Nizam of Hyderabad.
The Marathas under the command of Sadashivrao Bhau defeated the army of Salabat Jung (brother of Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II); wherein Salabat had intended to take the position as the Nizam.[1] The then Peshwa of the Maratha empire, Balaji Baji Rao aka Nanasaheb had collected 40,000 horses and 10,000 trained infantry.[2]
The aftermath of the war resulted signing of a treaty wherein the Nizam's forces surrendered territories with 60-62 lakhs annual income including the cities of Ahmadnagar, Daulatabad, Shivneri, Burhanpur (Asirgarh Fort) and Bijapur.[1][3] J. O. Lindsay termed this as the "apogee of Maratha power in the Deccan".[4]
Following the battle, the Marathas turned north to combat an Afghan force led by Ahmed Shah Durrani at the Third Battle of Panipat. However, the battle had little to no affect on the outcome of the war as it suffered limited casualties[citation needed]
