List of Indian states by life expectancy at birth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

India is composed of 28 states and 8 union territories (including Delhi).[1] The last change in the administrative structure took place in 2019-2020, when the two union territories of Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli were merged into one, called Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu.[2]

Life expectancy in India is below the global average, but is increasing at a rate that exceeds the global average.[3][4]

According to estimation of the United Nations, in 2023 life expectancy in India was 72.00 years (70.52 for male, 73.60 for female).[5] For comparison, life expectancy in the world was 73.17.[5]

Estimation of the World Bank Group for India for 2023 is exactly the same: 72.00 years in total (70.52 for male, 73.60 for female).[6] With average life expectany in the world 73.33 years.[4]

Estimations of SRS

These are data of Indian national demographic survey "Sample Registration System" (SRS). Tables below contains only data for biggest states and union territories. Record "India on average" contains averaged data for all states and union territories.

Other estimations

Life expectancy in states and union territories of India, an estimated average for 2011-2016

This is a list of Indian states by life expectancy at birth. The figures come from the Human Development Index Report, published in 2011, by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India[12] and Sample Registration Survey (SRS) based life table 2010–14.[13][14]

The report provides life expectancy at birth based on mortality rates in years 2002–06, 2010–14, 2019, and 2019-21.
