List of cities in India by population: Difference between revisions

 

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 the [[Census of India]] using data from the [[2001 Census of India]] and the [[2011 Census of India]], conducted by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, under [[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Ministry of Home Affairs]], [[Government of India]].

*The list is based on population within the boundaries of the respective Municipal Corporations and not the actual urban area.<ref name="auto" /><ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=City definition by census India |url=http://censusindia.gov.in/Metadata/Metada.htm#2c |publisher=censusindia.gov.in |access-date=26 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070617234445/http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Metadata/Metada.htm |archive-date=17 June 2007 }}</ref>

*The 3 [[urban agglomerations|UA]]s with populations of {{nowrap|10 million}}  and above are known as '''Mega Cities''' <small>(The census defines the three as Greater Mumbai UA (18.4&nbsp;million), Delhi UA (16.3&nbsp;million) and Kolkata UA (14.1&nbsp;million).<ref name="auto" />)</small>

 

The cities listed in '''bold''' are the capitals of the respective [[states and territories of India|state / union territory]]. <!-- The cities listed in ''curved text'' are considered as Megacities by United Nations. -->
