TB mortality declined 25%, from 28 to 21 per lakh, while treatment coverage rose from 53% to 92%, citing the WHO Global TB Report 2025. The Ni-kshay portal recorded 26.37 lakh TB notifications in 2025, up from 25.52 lakh in 2023. Nadda said higher notification reflects better detection of previously missing cases.
