India population growth rate 2024 2025
Based on current data, the correct answer from the given options is:
D) 1.95%
However, for full context - India's population growth rate has been steadily declining and is now actually much lower than 1.95%:
| Period | Growth Rate |
|---|---|
| 1971-1981 | ~2.5% |
| 1981-1991 | ~2.4% |
| 1991-2001 | ~2.1% |
| 2001-2011 | ~1.7% |
| ~2023-2024 | ~0.8-0.9% |
According to Worldometers, India's current (2026) yearly percentage change is approximately 0.87%, which is far below even the lowest option listed.
Among the four choices given (3%, 2.40%, 2.10%, 1.95%), the answer intended by the question is 1.95% - this figure corresponds to a census-era estimate. The question likely refers to the 2001 Census period figure or a textbook reference point, where 1.95% was cited as the growth rate.
Note: If this is from an older textbook or exam context (pre-2011), 1.95% is the standard answer. In reality, India's present growth rate as of 2025-26 is closer to 0.87%, reflecting significant demographic transition.
