- In 2022, over 2.25 lakh Indians renounced Indian citizenship.

- The data reflects how Indians, especially high net worth individuals (HNIs) are moving westward with new passports, in search of better opportunities, healthcare, quality of life, and education, among several other factors.
- HNIs are those who have wealth of over $1 million or ₹8.2 crore.
- According to the Henley Global Citizens Report, there were 3.47 lakh such people in India in December 2021.
- Of these, 1.49 lakh HNIs were found in just nine cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Gurgaon, and Ahmedabad.
