Overview
Center for Digital Governance
The Indian growth story is closely linked to her path to urbanisation. In 2020, the 4400+ statutory towns and cities in India accounted for a little over 30 per cent in its share of the Indian population, at its current rate of growth, this number is expected to touch 50 per cent by 2030.
