India’s mortality rate saw a steady decline from 84.4 in 1990 to 25.5 in 2022, reflecting significant advancements in healthcare and socio-economic conditions. During the 1990s, the rate dropped to 66.4 by 2000, supported by expanded immunization programs and investments in public health infrastructure.
The decline accelerated post-2000, with the rate reaching 46.7 by 2010 and 25.5 by 2022. Key contributors included improved access to maternal healthcare, increased literacy rates, and poverty alleviation programs. However, rural-urban disparities and the burden of non-communicable diseases remain challenges for policymakers.
