An improvement in worldwide access for Indian travellers is indicated by the ascent of their passport to the 75th position on the Henley Passport Index, up from 85th last year. Indian citizens can now visit 56 countries visa-free or with visa-on-arrival.
Regardless, India’s overall passport performance has been unpredictable, with its highest position ever being 71st in 2006.
With 192 destinations it grants access to, Singapore’s passport is the most valuable, followed by Japan’s and South Korea’s at 187 each. Several European nations and countries, including Australia, the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, are also notable passport holders.
