Frequently asked questions

What is the population of Udaipur in 2026?

There is no official figure after Census 2011. Our estimate for 1 March 2026 is ≈5.2 lakh within the 2011 city limits and ≈5.9 lakh for the metro area (urban agglomeration). Both are labelled estimates (method M1).

What was the population of Udaipur in Census 2011?

4,51,100 within city limits (Udaipur (M Cl)); the Udaipur urban agglomeration had 4,74,531; the Udaipur district had 24,61,199.

Why do sources give such different numbers for Udaipur?

They measure different areas. The municipal body covers the city proper; the urban agglomeration adds the contiguous towns and outgrowths around it; the district adds rural areas too. Quoting the district figure as the "city population" is the most common mistake.

What is the literacy rate of Udaipur?

89.7% in Census 2011 (men 94.5%, women 84.5%). The sex ratio was 928 females per 1,000 males.
