Indians in Portugal, including recent immigrants and people who trace their ancestry back to India, together number around 104,000 (2024 Indian Ministry of External Affairs data)[1] − 120,000 (2021 Indian embassy data data).[2] They thus constitute 0.98% – 1.13% of the total population of Portugal.
In the 6 years between 2018 and 2023 around 45,000 Indians have settled the country,[3][4][5][6][7][8] mostly in the Lisbon metropolitan area, Porto, the Algarve[9] and the Districts of Beja, Santarém and Leiria.[4]
The majority of Indians in Portugal trace their background to Goa, Daman and Diu, Gujarat and, more recently, from Punjab and Haryana.[9]
