Notes
The India Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of India delivered

by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United Nations Population Division.

The Population of India (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2019.

The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each
year, from 1951 to 2019. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last
year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period.

Definitions
Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated.

Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year indicated, as estimated by

the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. World Population Prospects: The 2019

Revision. For forecasted years, the U.N. medium-fertility variant is used.
