Source:Area of states[3]

The area of Andaman and Nicobar islands of 8073 km² and Lakshadweep islands of 32 km2 are not added in this list. The area figures of states and union territories do not add up to area of India because:

Also worthy of note, the population of India, Manipur State and Senapati District include estimated population and excludes the households of Mao Maram, Paomata and Purul sub-divisions, as the census results for 2001 Census for these sub divisions were cancelled due to administrative and technical reasons.[3]

Notes

  1. 1 2 3 The shortfall of 7 km2 (2.7 sq mi) area of Madhya Pradesh and 3 km2 (1.2 sq mi) area of Chhattisgarh is yet to be resolved by the Survey of India
  2. ↑ Jammu & Kashmir is a disputed territory between Pakistan & India. It is not internationally accepted. So, this area cannot be included in total area of India. The world does not include Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan's area in Pakistan's total area as well
  3. ↑ Disputed area of 13 km2 (5.0 sq mi) between Puducherry and Andhra Pradesh is included in neither.
