The claim
India’s passport ranking was 76th in 2014 and, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it declined to 125th in 2026.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that India ranked 76th in Henley’s index in 2014 and 80th in 2026, not 125th. The 125th-place figure is from Global Citizen Solutions’ 2026 index, which uses a different methodology, so the two rankings are not directly comparable.[S1]
Additional context
Global Citizen Solutions released its 2026 index in June 2026. The review says India’s overall score rose to 45.1, its highest in five years, despite its ranking slipping from 124th in the 2025 edition. [S1]
