Other estimations
This is a list of Indian states by life expectancy at birth. The figures come from the Human Development Index Report, published in 2011, by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India and Sample Registration Survey (SRS) based life table 2010–14.
The report provides life expectancy at birth based on mortality rates in years 2002–06, 2010–14, 2019, and 2019-21.
