Hello,
Is there any module that can tell the default current location city of the user on their site.
Eg. if the user is accessing the site form pune it should display location -pune,if from mumbai display the location mumbai.

First go and download php class for here http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php it will give you class ip2locationlite.class.php. Now in drupal custom module you can do this 

   module_load_include('php', 'yourmodulename', 'ip2locationlite.class');
  $ipLite = new ip2location_lite;
  $ipLite->setKey('your api key you have to register free to get key');
//Get errors and locations
  $client_ip = ip_address(); //ip_address is drupal function
  $locations = $ipLite->getCity($client_ip);
  print 'City name'.$locations['cityName'];

You can use Google API for the location access via IP.

you have create module name ip2locationlite. Now Put that class(ip2locationlite.class.php) which you had download in module directory
put this code in ip2locationlite.module file

function ip2locationlite_init() { 
 module_load_include('php', 'ip2locationlite', 'ip2locationlite.class');
  $ipLite = new ip2location_lite;
  $ipLite->setKey('your api key you have to register free to get key');
//Get errors and locations
  $client_ip = ip_address(); //ip_address is drupal function
  $locations = $ipLite->getCity($client_ip);
  print 'City name'.$locations['cityName'];
}

also clear the cache.
