Swaraj was taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi on Tuesday evening, reports India Today.
The senior BJP leader, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2016, had opted out of contesting in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections citing ill health.
The Congress condoled her death and tweeted, "We are saddened to hear about the untimely demise of Smt Sushma Swaraj. Our condolences to her family and loved ones."
She was a favourite on Twitter during her term in office responding to calls and messages of distress from Indians all over the world.
