In some cases, cities are bifurcated into municipalities, which can lead to cities being included within other cities. This list is based on the Census of India using data from the 2001 census of India and the 2011 census of India.

The list is based on population within the boundaries of the respective Municipal Corporations and not the actual urban area.^[2]^[3]
Towns/Cities with populations of 1 lakh (100,000) are categorized as Class-I towns or Cities.
The 46 cities with populations of 1 million and above are known as Million Plus UAs or Cities.
The 3 UAs with populations of 10 million and above are known as Mega Cities. ^[a]^[2]

The cities listed in bold are the capitals of the respective states and union territories and, the national capital New Delhi.

Notes

↑ The census defines the three as Greater Mumbai UA (18.4 million), Delhi UA (16.3 million) and Kolkata UA (14.1 million)
↑ The 2001 population numbers are sourced directly from 2011 census data. This also allows for sensible comparisons when city boundaries changed between 2001 and 2011.
