Despite the increase, experts say the National Crime Records Bureau might be undercounting suicides by women.

India reported the highest suicide rate in its history in 2021, with 12 suicides for every 1,00,000 people.

Also, despite an increase in reporting, experts say the National Crime Records Bureau might be undercounting suicides by women.

This story is part of our ongoing Data Gaps series, which highlights shortcomings in data of public interest. In this story on data gaps in India’s sucide reporting, we analyse three trends that data from the Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India, 2021, show:

* The rate of deaths by suicide were highest in developed states like Kerala and Telangana, at 27 suicides per 100,000 population
* 72.5% of those who committed suicide were men
