Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). Assuming an average household size of 3.9 (the average urban family size estimated by a National Sample Survey study in 2018), we arrive at a figure of 13.9 million deaths.
This estimate also relies on the assumption that at most one death occurred in a household, making it a slightly conservative estimate.
The scale of the covid-19 tragedy is evident from the fact that six in ten respondents reported losing someone in their own family or close circle.
Among the largest Indian cities, Delhi and Hyderabad saw relatively higher death tolls, the survey suggests. So far, all reports on ‘excess deaths’ have largely relied on civil registration system (CRS) or National Health Mission (NHM) data.
