      Indian passport ranking has increased incredibly from 77th position to 73rd position. According to the indian passport index. The sudden progress over the past year is due to because of India’s strong global ties and increased trade with other countries, which makes the Indian passport rank more strong.

      As I have a project at my university on the topic of passport ranking index, I collected all the data from the past years and saw the growth of different passports, then I suddenly realised that the Indian passport has shown a significant growth, which helps indian citizens to access 26 visa-free and 44 visa-on-arrival countries.

    According to me, the indian passport ranking has improved because of the geopolitical influence and economic growth of the country. India's economic trajectory makes it an ideal partner for many foreign nations seeking business and tourism opportunities. Considering this, Malaysia, Thailand, and Iran are among the destinations that offer visa-free entry for indian passport holders.
