Over 920,000 Indians Acquire Citizenship in OECD Countries from 2020 to 2024
Between 2020 and 2024, over 920,000 Indians acquired citizenship in OECD countries, marking a 41% increase from the previous five years. Canada, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand were the top destinations, with Canada leading at 260,000 new citizens. This rise reflects growing Indian diaspora communities in developed nations. Indian government data shows nearly 900,000 people renounced Indian citizenship during this period. The trend raises concerns about potential talent and wealth migration from India.
