I think that one of the options for obtaining a boundary map is to create it yourself based on available materials.

Eduard Bondarenko thanks

Interesting. The India Census doesn't seem to release the geometry of the enumeration areas?

Michael John Patrick thanks for your help. According to my findings I didn't get any types of geometry areas delineated boundaries by any adminstration or Indian census. I would like to ask can you please provide me the link or process to get such pixels of UA.. it will be really helpful then

That first one I posted was the SEDAC 2011 ( https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/india-spatial-india-census-2011 ) with vector boundaries from GADM ( https://gadm.org/ ). It was only a very rough look to ascertain the area of interest you were asking about, with no QA or resolving of Spatial Reference Systems etc.

There are datasets like Urban-TEP built environment land cover ( https://www.dlr.de/eoc/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-9628/16557_read-40454/ ), the GHSL - Global Human Settlement Layer gridded population ( https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/visualisation.php# ), economics Dryad ( http://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.dk1j0 ) - these are well documented and their methodologies ad original source data and citations can point to other more specialized and localized sources as well ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/building-footprints ). Some are also time series as well.

These were created ( partly ) because of the harmonization, lack, frequency, and quality of national census in many parts of the world.

You might be able to extract the admin areas you need from Open Street Map ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary=administrative ) using OverPass Turbo ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary=administrative and http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/16sa ).

Finding, filtering, extracting, re-projecting these datasets and then fusing them for analytics is non-trivial and fraught with peril, especially from the rasters, as they are in an unusual global projections. It would be well to understand ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissot%27s_indicatrix ) and exactly what is represented by the cell values.

What I show here are only some examples to show feasibility and a general path forward - again, I've done no QA/QC.

Thanks Michael John Patrick sir for your kind help..

Metropolitan area or urban agglomeration area in India have no delimited boundary. Most of the class I cities adopt a planning area based on their locational advantage. It is depending on the objectives how much area you will consider. In general, we define Urban Agglomeration Area considering neighborhood census town. You can also define your area based on some statistical framework like population density, household density or density of proportion of built up area, etc.

Thanks Apurba da

Apurba Sarkar So there is no equivalent Indian Census schema to the U.S. Census definition for metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area? : https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro/about.html
