The Henley Passport Index has released its 2024 ranking of the most powerful passports in the world, placing India at 82nd globally. This ranking allows Indian passport holders to travel to 58 countries without the need for a visa.

Compared to last year, when India was ranked 80th, this represents a decline of two positions.

In 2014, India held the 76th position, granting access to 52 countries.

The following year saw a sharp drop to 88th place with visa-free access to just 51 nations.
