Size
With an estimated population of 1.339 billion, representing 17% of the world population, India is the world's second most populous country after China. Over the last 50 years, there have been many advances in medicine, agriculture and transportation in India. This has led to rapid growth in population.
Around 70% of Indians inhabit rural areas, but recent decades have seen the migration of many rural living Indians to cities, increasing the population of urban centres, resulting in megacities like Mumbai. India's largest cities are Mumbai (formerly Bombay), Delhi, Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), Chennai (formerly Madras), Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
India travel insurance guide
The Australian government and Smart Traveller recommend you heavily research the country you are travelling to beforehand and book the most appropriate travel insurance for your trip. As mentioned, the minor cost of travel insurance is nothing compared to the potential costs of uninsured travel hazards.
