This is a list of India’s bridges longer than 500 metres (1,640 ft) sorted by their full length above water.

Note: There is no standard way to measure the total length of a bridge. Some bridges are measured from the beginning of the entrance ramp to the end of the exit ramp. Some are measured from shoreline to shoreline. Yet others are the length of the total construction involved in building the bridge. Since there is no standard, no ranking of a bridge should be assumed because of its position in the list. Additionally, in many cases, numbers are merely estimates and measures may be imprecise.
