Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The height and weight measurements required for calculating the BMI are only collected for subpopulations. The mean BMI can only be given for those subpopulations. DHS would not recommend that you extrapolate to the general population of all India.
