India Population Pyramid (1950–2100)
India in 2026
The population of India in 2026 is estimated at 1,476,625,576. A decade earlier, in 2016, the population was 1,343,944,296; it has grown by 9.9% since. Half of the population is younger than 30.2 years; 23.8% are children under 15 and 7.6% are 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
