List of cities in India by population

The following tables are the list of cities in India by population. Often cities are bifurcated into multiple regions (municipalities) which results in creation of cities within cities which may figure in the list. The entire work of this article is based on Census of India, 2011, conducted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, under Ministry of Home Affairs (India), Government of India.

This article is about cities (towns with Class-I status or population with 100,000 and above). For towns under 1 lakh (100,000) population, see List of towns in India by population.

  • The 46 cities with populations of 1 million and above are known as Million Plus UAs or Cities
  • The 3 UAs with populations of 10 million and above are known as Mega Cities (The census defines the three as Greater Mumbai UA (18.4 million), Delhi UA (16.3 million) and Kolkata UA (14.1 million)[1])
