Analysis# India's Population Analysis
India's population of 1.45 billion represents 17.9% of global population, with a 10.57% growth rate over the past decade translating to approximately 137 million added residents since 2014. Despite ranking first globally, India's growth has substantially decelerated from its 1961 peak decade, when population expansion exceeded 24%, indicating demographic transition toward lower fertility rates. The 64-year dataset reveals a fundamental shift: while absolute numbers continue climbing, the percentage growth rate has fallen by more than half, suggesting India's population may stabilize within coming decades.
