Income in India

Income in India discusses the financial state in India. With rising economic growth, India's income is also rising. As an overview, India's per capita net national income or NNI is around ₹2,05,324 in 2024-25. The per capita income is a crude indicator of the prosperity of a country. According to a 2021 report by the Pew Research Center, India has roughly 1.2 billion lower-income individuals, 66 million middle-income individuals, 16 million upper-middle-income individuals, and barely 2 million in the high-income group. According to The Economist, 78 million of India's population are considered middle class as of 2017, if defined using the cutoff of those making more than $10 per day, a standard used by India's National Council of Applied Economic Research. According to the World Bank, only a little less than 90% of India's population lived on less than $10 per day, and more than 95% lived on less than $20 per day in 2021.
