India will conduct its national census after 17 years. The census will start from March 1, 2027, according to reports. The census will include the enumeration of caste data. The national census will be conducted in two phases. The population census will start from October 1, 2026, in snow-bound states including Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand and Himachal and from March 1, 2027 for the rest of India.

The announcement to include caste enumeration in the census - a demand by the opposition - was announced months before the assembly polls in Bihar.
