The population change in India is driven by three components: approximately 23,073,267 births per year and 9,717,146 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 0.89% per year.
The total fertility rate stands at 1.94 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of India would decline over the long term without net immigration.
