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, Government of India.

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