It's fantastic news for holders of Indian passports that the Indian passport is now stronger than it was in the Henley Passport Index's most recent edition. Based in large part on information from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Henley Passport Index rankings are based on how many places passport holders can visit without a prior visa. 

With visa-free travel to 57 countries, India has improved its ranking from the previous year and moved up six ranks on the index, from 87th in July 2022 to 81st this year.
