Indians in Portugal, including recent immigrants and people who trace their ancestry back to India, together number around 80,000 (2018 data)[1] -120,000 (2021 data).[2] Between 2018 and 2022 around 32,000 Indians entered the country, settling mostly in Lisbon and Porto.[3][4][5][6][7] They thus constitute 0.76% - 1.15% of the total population of Portugal.
Indians are also found in the Algarve, Coimbra, Guarda, Leiria, Odemira[8] and Rio Maior.[9]
The majority of Indians in Portugal consist of Goans, Gujaratis, Tamilians, Malayali people from Daman and Diu and Tamil Nadu.
The 2010s, particularly the second half of the decade, saw the start of a new immigration wave of Indians to Portugal, as well as of citizens of other South Asian nationals - namely Nepalis, Bengalis and Pakistanis - propelled mainly by the need of unskilled agricultural workers.
