India's passport falls to 125th in 2026 Global Passport Index
India
India's passport has dropped to the 125th spot in the Global Passport Index for 2026, released on July 5.
That's a notch lower than last year, and only a slight improvement over the past five years.
The ranking isn't just about visa-free travel: it also looks at how passports help people move, invest, and live abroad.
India's slower progress means fewer international perks compared to other countries.
