The Mughal Empire covered the largest territory in Indian history, reaching its zenith in the late 17th century under Emperor Aurangzeb. At its peak, it encompassed most of the Indian subcontinent, including present-day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan. The empire was known for its cultural achievements, architectural marvels, and administrative innovations. Its vast expanse and influence marked a significant era in Indian history.

The Roman Empire covered 6.5 million square kilometres (2.51 million square miles) and was the 17th largest empire in history. The Mughal Empire covered 5 million square kilometres (1.93 million square miles) and was the 26th largest empire in history.
The Mauryan Empire was larger than the Gupta Empire. At its height, the Mauryan Empire covered a vast territory across the Indian subcontinent, including most of present-day India, Pakistan, and parts of Afghanistan. In contrast, the Gupta Empire, while significant in cultural and scientific achievements, controlled a smaller area during its peak. The Mauryan Empire is often considered one of the largest and most powerful empires in ancient India.
The largest contiguous empire (the largest empire confined to a single land mass) was the Mongol Empire which, at its largest extent covered 33,000,000 sq km or 12,741,000 sq miles, some 22% of the earth's total land area. The Mongol Empire was the second largest empire after the British Empire which was a maritime empire and not confined to a single land mass. The British Empire was the largest empire in history. At it's peak the Brirish Empire covered 36.6 million km² of land and contained around a quarter of the worlds population. After World War II much of the British Empire territories declared independence. Most still retain a close relationship with Britain, some even choosing to retain the British Monarch.

I believe it was the Maurya Empire. At its height it was the uncontested ruler of the Indian subcontinent... Maurya Empire extended from Burma To Iran and Kashmir to Tamilnadu... All South, South-East, South_West Asia was the part of this Empire.....
The Britsh Empire was - relatively speaking and only in comparison with other colonial Empires - the largest Empire in the world, between 1895 and 1948. But that did not mean that it ruled over the majority of all the territory in the world.
