Ekma, 
India
279,229 people lived in Ekma in 2025. It is the 2080th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 337th largest in India.
Like every city on this site, Ekma is counted as a built-up area seen from above rather than as a city government's territory. Why that changes the number.

How to read this: each column is one of the UN's five-yearly estimates, 1975 through 2050, and taller means more people. Where a column is hatched the year has not happened yet. The strip under the columns is the UN's own confidence in each figure, palest where it is least sure; where it is blank the city was not on the list at all.

Where it is
How to read this: every dot is one of the 2,054 cities in India in 2025, and a dot's area is how many people live there, the biggest being New Delhi. The ringed dot in colour is Ekma; the grey dots are the rest. The outlines around them are neighbouring countries.
Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Ekma covered 112 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 4.4 km² of it. That is 16 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 4 by 4 metres. Since 2010, its built-up land has grown to 2.2 times its size, and its people have grown by 89%.
How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Ekma are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Ekma publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
