Indian states and union territories by population — the full ranked list
The complete ranking of indian states and union territories by population, in order, with what the ranking counts and how firm the figures behind it are. Free reference, no sign-up — and the guessing game that plays the same list.
All 28 states and 8 union territories, most populous first. Ordering follows the 2011 census, the last one conducted — Telangana's 2014 formation and the 2019 reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir are reflected in the entries, not in fresh counts.
The figures behind this ranking move over time, so the order is right for now rather than fixed.
