Most Populated Tehsils of Pakistan

Top 200 Most Populated Tehsils of Pakistan

Pakistan’s tehsils (also called talukas in Sindh) are the middle tier of local government, sitting between districts and union councils. Their sizes vary enormously: the biggest, Lahore City in Lahore District, has more than 4.1 million people, while the smallest has only a few thousand.

This list ranks tehsils in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh by population, using the 2023 Population and Housing Census figures from the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics tables.
