what is the poverty rate in india 2023

In 2023 , India’s poverty rate depends on which measure you mean. The most commonly cited extreme poverty estimate from the World Bank puts India at 5.3% in 2022–23 ; for India’s national poverty line , World Bank data also tracks country-specific rates, but the exact all-India 2023 figure isn’t shown in the sources I could verify here.

Quick read

• Extreme poverty: 5.3% in 2022–23.

• Multidimensional poverty: 15.5% in 2022–23.

• National poverty line: available through World Bank’s India poverty dataset, but the source I found here does not display a single headline all-India 2023 number.

What this means

If you are asking about the poverty rate in the global-development sense, 5.3% is the key figure most people refer to for India in 2023-era reporting. If you want, I can also give you the rural vs urban poverty rate or the state-wise figures for India.
