Edit request: total population
editThe numbers in the "Total" rows are the same for both tables and do not represent the total populations of the cities in those tables. Do they represent something else, and in that case could we have clarification? If not, could they be changed? The actual totals are 115,982,957, 95,058,803, 85,555,425, and 66,468,649.

📝 Draft: Talk Page Request to Update Population Data Subject: Request to Update City Population Rankings Using Latest UN‑Based Estimates (2011 Census Outdated)
Hello editors, I would like to request an update to the population rankings in the article “List of cities in India by population.” The current table is based entirely on the 2011 Census, which is now more than 15 years old. Since the 2021 Census has been postponed, the 2011 figures no longer reflect the actual size or ranking of Indian cities. Reason for Request • The demographic landscape of India has changed significantly since 2011. • Several cities—such as Bengaluru, Pune, Surat, Hyderabad, and Kozhikode—have experienced major population shifts. • Wikipedia’s own guidelines allow the use of UN‑based projections and reliable demographic aggregators when no recent census data exists. Proposed Sources These sources provide 2024–2026 population estimates based on UN World Urbanization Prospects and are widely used across Wikipedia: 1. StatisticsTimes – India Cities Population (UN WUP 2025/2026) https://statisticstimes.com/demographics/city/india-cities-population.php [1] 2. Worldometers – Largest Cities in India (UN estimates) https://www.worldometers.info/population/largest-cities-in-india/ [2] 3. World Population Review – India Cities (2025/2026)
(worldpopulationreview.com)
[3] These sources provide consistent, verifiable, and regularly updated projections. Suggested Implementation • Replace the current 2011 Census table with a new table titled: “Estimated Urban Agglomeration Populations (UN Projections 2025/2026)” • Add a footnote clarifying that these are projections, not census counts. • Retain the 2011 Census table in a separate section for historical reference. Request I kindly request that an editor with page‑edit privileges review this proposal and update the article accordingly, or advise on any improvements needed to meet Wikipedia’s sourcing and formatting standards. Thank you. Sabeernam (talk) 15:59, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
