A city in India is classified into categories according to the total population under one local governing body, whereas urban agglomerations includes more than one local governing body. So which city should be classified as Metropolitan city solely depends upon the population governed by the Municipal Corporation alone, leave aside other governing bodies like cantonment board, municipal council, notified area committee etc that may be a part of urban agglomeration. From this it is clear that only those cities should be enlisted as Metropoliton cities that have a population of over 4 million under one local governing body
