"India's fertility rate has fallen substantially - from 5.7 births per woman in 1950 to the current rate of two.

Fertility rates have fallen below the replacement level of two births per woman in 17 of the 29 states and territories." - BBC

The replacement rate is 2.1 births per woman, just for accuracy. So the country's rate of 2 per woman on average is below replacement level.
