India moved up three spots in the Human Development Index, ranking 130 out of 193 countries in 2023, as per the Human Development Report 2025 released on Tuesday by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
With the HDI value improving to 0.685 in 2023 from 0.676 in 2022, India remained in the medium human development category, moving closer to the high human development threshold of 0.700.
The Gross National Income per capita rose over four times to $9,046.76 in 2023 from $2,167.22 in 1990, while 135 million Indians escaped multidimensional poverty between 2015-16 and 2019-21.
However, challenges persist, with inequality reducing India’s HDI by 30.7%, one of the highest losses in the region, the report said.
