The country’s fertility rate falls below replacement mark of 2.1 to 1.9, it says; number of people in the ‘world’s most populous nation’ expected to peak at 170 cr. before declining in around 40 years
India’s population is estimated to have reached 146.39 crore by April, says a new UN demographic report, which adds that the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) has declined to 1.9, falling below the replacement level of 2.1.
The population is expected to grow to 170 crore before starting to dip in about 40 years, the report titled “State of the World Population 2025: The Real Fertility Crisis” says. It calls India the “world’s most populous nation”, while pegging China’s current population at 141.61 crore.
The demographic indicators in the United Nations Population Fund report for 2025 are close to India’s own projection of its population published in 2019 by a technical group of experts.
The decennial Census, due to have been conducted in 2021, has been delayed and the government has now announced that it will be completed by March 2027. The last Census was conducted in 2011.
