As of March 2026, there have been 106 amendments of the Constitution of India since it was first enacted in 1950.
The Indian Constitution is one of the most amended national constitutions in the world. The Constitution spells out governmental powers with so much detail that many matters addressed by statute in other democracies must be addressed via constitutional amendment in India.
