As per records are to be believed around 1.6 million people died collectively in India and China due to pollution being the major reason of it.

“Air pollution due to continued use of fossil fuels, (coal in particular) in both the countries has caused an additional 1.6 million deaths than the projected figure based on the GDP growth rate for the year 2015,” the report by Greenpeace said.

In a list of 10 countries that suffer with worst pollution most of them are middle-income countries including India.

The excerpts from report included "Air pollution generally reduces as a country’s GDP increases. But China and India have particularly bad air pollution despite recent economic growth.

“Although air pollution death rates have fallen in China and India since 1990, they are still worse than in most similar countries. In India, rates have not improved since 2010. Continued use of coal is a major reason for the high air pollution death rates in both countries,”.
