According to the UNDP Human Development Index (HDI) Report 2025, life expectancy in India increased from 58.6 years in 1990 to how many years in 2023?

The correct answer is
72 years

The given question is based on the Human Development Index (HDI) data reported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The question asks for the increase in life expectancy in India from 1990 to 2023 according to the hypothetical HDI Report for 2025. Here’s how we approach finding the correct answer:

  1. Initially, we note that the life expectancy in India in 1990 was 58.6 years.
  2. We are required to identify the life expectancy in 2023 from the given options, using the UNDP HDI Report 2025 as our benchmark.
  3. The given options are:
    • 72 years
    • 73 years
    • 74 years
    • More than one of the above
  4. The correct answer, as stated, is 72 years. This implies that life expectancy in India increased by approximately 13.4 years from 1990 to 2023, resulting in a total of 72 years by 2023.
  5. To justify this selection:
    • Data from reliable and relevant sources such as UNDP reports, World Bank, or national health statistics typically support such increments due to improvements in healthcare, living conditions, and economic status.
    • The option '72 years' aligns well with plausible life expectancy growth trends observed in India over the past few decades.

Thus, based on the data increment and reasoning, the life expectancy in India by 2023 is 72 years.
