      The average height of men in India is generally cited to be around 5 feet 5 inches (approximately 165-166 cm) to 5 feet 8 inches (approximately 173 cm).

      Here’s a breakdown of what various sources indicate:

      • Most common range: Many sources, including recent data for 2025, suggest the average height for adult Indian men is around 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm).
      • Lower estimates: Some older surveys or broader national health studies (like NFHS-IV in 2015-16) reported averages closer to 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm).
      • Regional Variations: It’s very important to note that India has significant regional, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity, which heavily influences height.
        • Men from northern states like Punjab and Haryana tend to be taller, often averaging around 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) or even more in some communities.
        • Other regions, particularly some southern and eastern areas, might have slightly lower averages.
        • Urban areas generally show slightly higher averages due to better nutrition and healthcare access.

      Factors like genetics, nutrition (especially during childhood and adolescence), access to healthcare, and socioeconomic conditions all play a significant role in determining the average height within different populations in India. There’s also an observed trend of gradual increase in average height over the years due to improved living standards and nutrition
