In some cases, cities are bifurcated into municipalities, which can lead to cities being included within other cities. This list is based on the Census of India using data from the 2001 census of India and the 2011 census of India.

Notes

^ The census defines the three as Greater Mumbai UA (18.4 million), Delhi UA (16.3 million) and Kolkata UA (14.1 million)
^ The 2001 population numbers are sourced directly from 2011 census data. This also allows for sensible comparisons when city boundaries changed between 2001 and 2011.
