India is likely to become 43.2% urban (approx. 675 Mn people) by 2035 as per the United Nations – Habitat’s World Cities Report 2022. This urbanisation will be driven by growth in the Indian population as well as migration from villages to cities. India already has about 50 cities with a population of over a million people and this number is likely to grow in line with urbanisation trends. Delhi is expected to become the world’s largest urban conglomerate with a population of over 39 Mn by 2030. The belief and confidence towards India’s rurbanisation arise from the spiked emergence of new age technology-led models in rural India in the last decade.
