In 2023, the prevalence of undernourishment in India stood at approximately 12.7%. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data shows a declining trend in undernourishment levels, starting at 12.4% in 2024 and dropping to 11.2% by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, reflecting improved food security and economic conditions. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average yearly reduction of undernourishment by a small margin, suggesting gradual but steady progress.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on agriculture, government policies on food distribution, and socioeconomic factors affecting nutrition in rural and urban areas.
