Height and growth data, for India
Average heights from national survey data, child growth percentiles from the WHO and Indian Academy of Pediatrics references, and healthy weight ranges by height — with the source and survey year printed on every page.
What is on this site
Reference tables, not advice. Every page shows the source, the survey round and the year the number was measured.
Height and weight chart
Healthy weight range for every height from 4'10" to 6'4", by age band and sex, in kg and pounds.
Open →Child growth percentiles
Height and weight percentiles for children, from the WHO standards and the revised IAP charts for Indian children.
Open →Average height in India
What the published national survey and pooled-study data actually say — and what it does not say.
Open →By state and union territory
Body-measurement indicators from the NFHS-5 state fact sheets, one page per state, with the round cited.
Open →India vs other countries
Mean adult height compared across about thirty countries, from the NCD-RisC pooled analysis.
Open →Can height be increased?
The honest answer, including why the supplements sold against this search cannot work in adults.
Open →Why this site exists
Search "height weight chart" or "average height in India" and most of what comes back is either American data relabelled, or a page built to sell a height-increase capsule. Neither tells you where its numbers came from.
GrowthChart publishes the reference tables that already exist in the public record — the WHO Child Growth Standards, the Indian Academy of Pediatrics revised charts, the National Family Health Survey, the NCD-RisC pooled height analysis — with the citation attached to each one. Where a figure is not published for India, this site says so and leaves the space empty rather than filling it with an estimate.
The weight side of the arithmetic lives on SehatCheck, a sister site that handles BMI on the Asian-Indian cutoffs. This site does not restate it.
Child growth by age
Percentile tables for each age. These are population references for tracking a child over time — never a verdict on a single measurement.
Healthy weight for your height
The chart people are looking for when they search "height weight chart". It is a range, and it does not change with age in adults — the age pages explain what does.

Both columns are the same arithmetic — weight = BMI × height in metres squared — read against two different published band sets. The height links go to SehatCheck, which publishes the full BMI table for each height.
By state and union territory
36 states and union territories with published NFHS-5 body-measurement indicators.
What this site will not do
It will not tell you a child is too short or too heavy. A percentile is a position in a population, not a diagnosis, and a single measurement of a healthy child can sit anywhere on the chart. What matters clinically is the trajectory across several visits, and reading that is a paediatrician's job.
It will also not sell you height. Adult height cannot be increased by any supplement, stretch, device or diet, and the page that says so is here.
