The forest department contacted the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Center, which is operated by the non-governmental organization Wildlife SOS.
The rescuers lowered a log into the well for the leopard to use as a floatation device while they worked on lowering a box trap.
The leopard entered the trap box about three hours after the rescue effort began.
Footage of the rescue was posted to YouTube by Wildlife SOS.
The leopard, a 3-year-old female, was examined at the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Center.
"The leopard was in a state of panic and had to be rescued immediately," veterinarian Ajay Deshmukh told NDTV.
The leopard was found to have evaded major injuries and was released back into the wild.
