This study was aimed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from an Indian ringneck parrot (Psittacula krameri).The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,413 bp in length.In comparison to other available mitogenome sequences belonging to Psittacidae species, this mitogenome encoded a conserved structure consisting of 13 protein-codin
