Life Expectancy at Birth in India from 1990 to 2022

India’s life expectancy grew significantly from 59 years in 1990 to 71 years by 2019, driven by reductions in infant mortality, improved access to healthcare, and poverty alleviation programs. The rise during the 1990s and early 2000s reflects the impact of nationwide immunization and public health initiatives. Despite progress, challenges in managing non-communicable diseases and regional disparities have caused fluctuations, with life expectancy stabilizing at 68 years in recent years.
