| HIV-negative TB mortality | 493 000 (453 000-536 000) | 36 (33-39) |
| HIV-positive TB mortality | 11 000 (9 800-12 000) | 0.78 (0.71-0.84) |
In 2020, India accounted for 38% of global TB deaths among HIV-negative people, and for 34% of the combined total number of TB deaths in HIV-negative and HIV-positive people.
