India's extreme poverty rate drops from 27.1% to 2.6% from 2011 to 2023, says World Bank According to the World Bank's October 2026 Poverty and Equity Brief, India's extreme poverty rate significantly decreased from 27.1% in 2011 to 2.6% in 2023, lifting approximately 496 million people out of poverty. This remarkable decline is attributed to strong consumption growth, increased employment, particularly among women, and expanded social transfers like food subsidies. The report also noted a reduction in the proportion of people living below the lower-middle-income poverty threshold, which fell from 57.7% to 16.1% during the same period. While the World Bank anticipates continued poverty reduction in the coming years, it warns that projections may change with new economic data.
