Kozhikode and Ghaziabad has a greater decadal growth rate in the period 2001-11 than the earlier decade. This is because Ghaziabad has been included in the NCR region very recently. Kozhikode is an upcoming port city with many potential development opportunities.

The growth rate of all cities except Thiruvananthapuram has gradually decreased than the other cities in the category. This is because the development in these cities are already upto the brink due to the exhausted land and hence people are moving towards the outskirts.

Cities in this category have just crossed the 10 lakh population mark; and are growing outwards due to the introduction of new development schemes and townships. Also due to the partition of bigger states into smaller ones, new capital cities have been formed which were previously medium sized towns. Hence the incentive of development have just caught up with these cities.

In these category those cities are present which are either port towns with high potential for domestic and international trade; or those cities which have come under the purview of newer development due to either conversion to state capitals or due to the inclusion of the city to special development zones as in case of Ghaziabad.
