India climbs 3 spots on HDI, ranks 130 out of 193 nations: UNDP report

NEW DELHI: India continues its steady rise on the Human Development Index (HDI), ranking 130 out of 193 countries in the 2025 Human Development Report (HDR) released on Tuesday by the UN Development Programme.

Between 2022 and 2023, India improved its HDI ranking from 133 to 130, and its HDI value increased from 0.676 in 2022 to 0.685 in 2023. India remained in the medium human development category, moving closer to the threshold for high human development (HDI ≥ 0.700), the report said.

However, the report also pointed out that inequality reduces India's HDI by 30.7 per cent, one of the highest losses in the region.
