Manmohan Singh was prime minister for two terms in the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2014. He had been in poor health for the last few months.
He is survived by wife Gurcharan Singh and three daughters.
Manmohan Singh as finance minister under the then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao was the architect and brainchild of economic reforms in 1991 that pulled India from the brink of bankruptcy and ushered in an era of economic liberalisation that is widely believed to have changed the course of India's economic trajectory.
