Last August we noted that Facebook had 82 million active users in India. But now the social network has hit an important milestone, surpassing 100 million monthly active users in the country.

Javier Olivan, Facebook's vice-president of growth and analytics, told India's Economic Times that the landmark number was reached on March 31st. 84 percent of those 100 million Facebook users in India access it via mobile.

India is set to hit a quarter of a billion web users sometime this year.
