Explanation:

“Replacement level fertility” is the total fertility rate—the average number of children born per woman—at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next, without migration. This rate is roughly 2.1 children per woman.
The fertility rate of India is 2.3 that is above the replacement fertility rate
Also, only 13 administrative units of India have fertility rate at or below the replacement level rate.
