Shahuwadi is a tehsil in the Karvir subdivision of the Kolhapur district in the Indian state of Maharashtra.[2]

As India expanded in 1949, Kolhapur was redistricted and expanded to include Shahuwadi.

The Amba Ghat mountain pass on Ratnagiri-Kolhapur road (NH 204) is nearby.[3] Shahuwadi has 145 villages. The distance between Kohalpur and Shahuwadi is 46.5km.
