India's poverty falls sharply, but top earners still make 13 times more than the bottom 10%

A World Bank analysis reports that poverty in India has declined substantially in recent years. Despite this progress, the gap between the country's wealthiest and poorest households remains wide. According to the findings, people in the top 10% of earners take home about 13 times the income of those in the bottom 10%. The report highlights that while living standards have improved for many, income inequality continues to be a significant challenge. The figures underline the uneven distribution of gains across India's population.
