According to the 74th Constitution Amendment Act, "Metropolitan area" means

  • A.An area having a population of 10 lakhs or more
  • B.An area having a population of 5 lakhs
  • C.An area having a population below 5 lakhs
  • D.An area having a population below 3 lakhs

Answer: A

A Metropolitan area is an area having a population of 10 lakhs or more.

The 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992 added Article 243P, whose clause (c) defines a Metropolitan area as an area with a population of ten lakhs (one million) or more, in one or more districts, with two or more Municipalities or Panchayats, which the Governor specifies by notification. Such areas get a Metropolitan Planning Committee under Article 243ZE.

Figures of 5 lakhs, or below 5 or 3 lakhs, do not appear in this definition.
