[Python] Plotly chloropleth of India not showing states properly (too small)

I am trying to create a choropleth of India that shows railway accident data. When I try to make run it a choropleth is created, but the states of India are too small and do not reflect their real life sizes. Here is a picture of the incorrect Choropleth.


Here is my code:

import plotly.express as px

fig = px.choropleth(geo_df,geojson=geojson_data,locations="st_nm",featureidkey="properties.st_nm",color='Accidents',center=dict(lat=21,lon=78))

fig.update_geos(center=dict(lat=22, lon=80), projection_scale=8)
fig.show()


The dataframe "geo_df" looks like this:

id district dt_code st_nm st_code year \
0 None Aizawl 261 Mizoram 15 2011_c
1 None Champhai 262 Mizoram 15 2011_c
2 None Kolasib 263 Mizoram 15 2011_c
3 None Lawngtlai 264 Mizoram 15 2011_c
4 None Lunglei 265 Mizoram 15 2011_c

4 POLYGON ((92.67307 23.38303, 92.68989 23.32804... 1


The geojson I'm using (geojson_data) looks like this. I can post more records if need be:

How do I fix this so the states are scaled correctly?
