As of January 26, 2020, India consists of 28 States and 8 Union Territories. This configuration resulted from the reorganization of the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories (Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh) in 2019, and the merger of the Union Territories of Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli into a single Union Territory (Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu) in 2020.
