Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMRatio) per the current NHP 2017 target for India and the current (NITI Aayog 2023 estimate) value are respectively:

• A NHP target 100, current 103 per 100,000 live births
• B NHP target 100, current 97 per 100,000 live births
• C NHP target 70, current 97 per 100,000 live births ✓
• D NHP target 70, current 140 per 100,000 live births

Explanation

The National Health Policy 2017 set a target to reduce Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMRatio) to 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030 (aligning with SDG target 3.1). The Special Bulletin on Maternal Mortality in India 2018–20 reported MMR of 97/100,000 live births — a significant decline from 254 in 2004–06. Recent estimates place India's MMR below 100, close to the NHP interim milestone.
