The fort of Nagarkot was in Kangra district in Punjab. No Muslim ruler had conquered it by then and it was in the hands of a Hindu king. Muhammad Tughlaq conquered it though he restored it back to its ruler after his acceptance of suzerainty of Delhi. In south India, Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq had annexed Telingana and a large part of Malabar Coast. Muhammad Tughlaq made fresh annexations in the south. Muhammad Tughlaq captured Kondhana or Singharh from Nag Nayak. Muhammad Tughlaq, thus, conquered greater part of south India and annexed it to the Delhi Sultanate. Muhammad failed to get any success in Rajasthan, but largely succeeded in carrying out his series of conquests. Of course, he failed at few places, yet his Empire was more extensive than any other Sultan of Delhi. The authority of the Sultan was acknowledged over India, save Kashmir, Orissa, Rajasthan and a strip of Malabar Coast, and he established an effective system of administration over this vast empire.
