An Urban Agglomeration must consist of at least a statutory town and its total population should not be less than 20,000 as per the 2001 Census. In varying local conditions, there were similar other combinations that have been treated as urban agglomerations satisfying the basic condition of contiguity.[6] As per the 2011 census, there were 53 urban agglomerations or cities with population of 1 million and above.[7]
