This is a list of currently serving ambassadors, high commissioners and permanent representatives of India. High commissioners lead India's diplomatic missions in member states of the Commonwealth of Nations and ambassadors lead diplomatic missions in other states. The head of a diplomatic mission to an international organization is called a permanent representative. All ambassadors, high commissioners and permanent representatives of India are appointed by the Ministry of External Affairs and are almost always career diplomats and members of the Indian Foreign Service.
