In India, the poverty line is determined based on the average monthly consumption expenditure required to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. The Planning Commission, along with the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, conducts periodic assessments, using criteria such as calorie intake and household consumption patterns. The most recent estimates are based on the recommendations of the Tendulkar Committee and the Rangarajan Committee, which consider both rural and urban areas. Adjustments are also made for inflation and regional variations in cost of living.

Initially, the country experienced high poverty rates, but economic reforms in the early 1990s led to substantial reductions in poverty levels, with the percentage of the population living below the poverty line declining from over 55% in the early 1970s to around 22% by 2011. However, the COVID-19 pandemic reversed some of these gains, pushing millions back into poverty. Despite ongoing challenges, targeted welfare programs and economic growth continue to shape the poverty landscape in India.
