Actual value and historical data chart for India Population In Largest City

The below dataset shows the top 800 biggest cities in the world and their populations in the year 2024. It also tells us which country and continent each city is in, and their rank based on population size. Here are the top ten cities:

• Tokyo, Japan - in Asia, with 37,115,035 people.
• Delhi, India - in Asia, with 33,807,403 people.
• Shanghai, China - in Asia, with 29,867,918 people.
• Dhaka, Bangladesh - in Asia, with 23,935,652 people.
• Sao Paulo, Brazil - in South America, with 22,806,704 people.
• Cairo, Egypt - in Africa, with 22,623,874 people.
• Mexico City, Mexico - in North America, with 22,505,315 people.
• Beijing, China - in Asia, with 22,189,082 people.
• Mumbai, India - in Asia, with 21,673,149 people.
• Osaka, Japan - in Asia, with 18,967,459 people.

Japan’s largest city, greater Tokyo, had a staggering ***** million inhabitants in 2023, making it the most populous city across the Asia-Pacific region. India had the second largest city after Japan with a population consisting of approximately ** million inhabitants. Contrastingly, approximately *** thousand inhabitants populated Papua New Guinea's largest city in 2023. A megacity regionNot only did Japan and India have the largest cities throughout the Asia-Pacific region but they were among the three most populated cities worldwide in 2023. Interestingly, over half on the world’s megacities were situated in the Asia-Pacific region. However, being home to more than half of the world’s population, it does not seem surprising that by 2025 it is expected that more than two thirds of the megacities across the globe will be located in the Asia Pacific region. Other megacities are also expected to emerge within the Asia-Pacific region throughout the next decade. There have even been suggestions that Indonesia’s Jakarta and its conurbation will overtake Greater Tokyo in terms of population size by 2030. Increasing populationsIncreased populations in megacities can be down to increased economic activity. As more countries across the Asia-Pacific region have made the transition from agriculture to industry, the population has adjusted accordingly. Thus, more regions have experienced higher shares of urban populations. However, as many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Seoul have an aging population, this may have an impact on their future population sizes, with these Asian regions estimated to have significant shares of the population being over 65 years old by 2035.

This statistic illustrates the consumption expenditure per capita across the largest cities in India in 2015. The nation capital region, Delhi, had a per capita consumer expenditure of approximately ******* Indian rupees. Bangalore had the highest per capita consumption expenditure during the measured time period.

How to use the dataset

How to Use 2017 Hyderabad Domestic Air Traffic Data

This dataset provides information about the number of air travelers that arrived in or left from Hyderabad, India in 2017. The data covers all major cities in India until October, giving users a chance to analyze and compare domestic air traffic between cities. This guide will provide an overview on how to use this data set effectively.

Exploring the Dataset

The dataset contains two columns: ‘level_0’ which is the index of the dataframe and ‘M passengers’ which is the number of passengers listed for each airport. It is important to remember that the numbers correspond to they year 2017 only and not current passenger rates. Exploring this data will allow users understand trends in travel patterns across different cities throughout India over a period of time.

Analyzing Trends with Maps

Using mapping technologies such as CartoDB will allow users build dynamic visualizations and gain a better understanding on temporal changes that occur within Indian domestic air travel since start of 2017 up until October 2017. Comparing these maps with socio-economic metrics will also allow deeper analysis on population demographics across India’s top flight routes; useful information when creating marketing plans or proposals related aviation expansion projects etc...

### Additional Analysis Tools Besides mapping tools such as CartoDB; other tools like R can be used to run various statistical models related estimating future traffic volumes based on present passenger patterns, creating correlation networks between selected cities compared side by side against socio-economic trends etc.. Finally SPSS can be used run qualitative analysis those interested in analyzing more subjective avaiation industry related studies such as airliners customer services ratings by destinations city or feedback surveys pre post domestic flights taken throughout certain regions within India etc.

Research Ideas

• Constructing a detailed visualization of the air transportation patterns from Hyderabad to all other cities in India, offering an increased understanding of both high traffic and low traffic destinations.
• Understanding passenger demand for different travel providers such as AirAsia, Indigo etc in the city and predicting possible growth trends for them.
• Refining marketing strategies for flight-based travel services by establishing their target market within the Hyerabad area and subsequently utilizing data-driven tactics to increase sales

As of September 2025, Mumbai had the highest cost of living among other cities in the country, with an index value of ****. Gurgaon, a satellite city of Delhi and part of the National Capital Region (NCR) followed it with an index value of ****.  What is cost of living? The cost of living varies depending on geographical regions and factors that affect the cost of living in an area include housing, food, utilities, clothing, childcare, and fuel among others. The cost of living is calculated based on different measures such as the consumer price index (CPI), living cost indexes, and wage price index. CPI refers to the change in the value of consumer goods and services. The wage price index, on the other hand, measures the change in labor services prices due to market pressures. Lastly, the living cost indexes calculate the impact of changing costs on different households. The relationship between wages and costs determines affordability and shifts in the cost of living. Mumbai tops the list Mumbai usually tops the list of most expensive cities in India. As the financial and entertainment hub of the country, Mumbai offers wide opportunities and attracts talent from all over the country. It is the second-largest city in India and has one of the most expensive real estates in the world.

Context

The dataset was created by keeping in mind the necessity of such historical weather data in the community. The datasets for top 8 Indian cities as per the population.

Content

The dataset was used with the help of the worldweatheronline.com API and the wwo_hist package. The datasets contain hourly weather data from 01-01-2009 to 01-01-2020. The data of each city is for more than 10 years. This data can be used to visualize the change in data due to global warming or can be used to predict the weather for upcoming days, weeks, months, seasons, etc. Note : The data was extracted with the help of worldweatheronline.com API and I can't guarantee about the accuracy of the data.

Inspiration

The main target of this dataset can be used to predict weather for the next day or week with huge amounts of data provided in the dataset. Furthermore, this data can also be used to make visualization which would help to understand the impact of global warming over the various aspects of the weather like precipitation, humidity, temperature, etc.

The datasets contains date- and state-wise historically compiled data on air quality (by pollution level) in rural and urban areas of India from the year 2015 , as measured by Central Pollution Board (CPCB) through its daily (24 hourly measurements, taken at 4 PM everyday) Air Quality Index (AQI) reports.

The CPCB measures air quality by continuous online monitoring of various pollutants such as Particulate Matter10 (PM10), Particulate Matter2.5 (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxide or Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2), Ozone (O3), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonic (NH3) and Lead (Pb) and calculating their level of pollution in the ambient air. Based on the each pollutant load in the air and their associated health impacts, the CPCB calculates the overall Air Pollution in Air Quality Index (AQI) value and publishes the data. This AQI data is then used by CPCB to report the air quality status i.e good, satisfactory, moderate, poor, very poor and severe, etc. of a particular location and their related health impacts because of air pollution.
