The list is updated for cities wherever metropolitan area data is available with the corresponding sources. All population data correspond to the 2011 census. For regions that were expanded post-2011 and no updated population data is available, data corresponding to the old urban area limits as per the 2011 census has been considered.<ref>Template:Cite report</ref>
