List of metropolitan areas

in India

This is a list of metropolitan areas by population in India. As per the Constitution of India, a metropolitan area is defined as an
area having a population of 10 lakh or more, comprised in one or more districts, and consisting of two or more municipalities or
panchayats or other contiguous areas, specified by the Governor by a public notification to be a Metropolitan area.[1][2]

List
The list is updated for cities wherever metropolitan area data is available with the corresponding sources. All population data
correspond to the 2011 census. For regions that were expanded post-2011 and no updated population data is available, data
corresponding to the old urban area limits as per the 2011 census has been considered.[3]
