Indicator Summary

“Foreigner’s arrival to India and Indians’ departure from India” refers to the international movement of people across India’s borders. “Foreigners arrival” captures the number of foreign nationals entering India for various purposes including tourism, business, education, medical treatment, or visiting family. This metric is closely monitored by immigration authorities and serves as an important indicator of India’s international tourism industry, global business connections, and soft power. “Indians departure” represents the number of Indian citizens leaving the country for international destinations, whether for short-term travel (tourism, business trips, family visits) or longer-term purposes (education, work assignments, or emigration). These statistics are typically collected through immigration checkpoints at airports, seaports, and land border crossings, where passports are processed and travel purposes are documented. Together, these metrics provide valuable insights into India’s integration with the global economy, its attractiveness as a destination, and the mobility patterns of its citizens.
