Gen Z expected to sway India’s 2029 Lok Sabha elections

India is expected to have the world's largest Gen Z population, with about 40.7 crore people aged 14-29 by 2026, and young voters could shape the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Those aged 18-29 will make up roughly 29.2% of eligible voters, with Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand having the highest shares. Gen Z's activism on jobs, education and climate is pushing parties to respond.
