India is likely to begin conducting a long-delayed population census in September, two government sources told Reuters, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi looks to plug important data gaps in his third term after years of criticism.

India's once-a-decade census was due to be completed in 2021 but was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will take about 18 months to complete the new survey after it begins next month, two government sources directly involved in the matter told Reuters.
