Most people use the words curd and yogurt interchangeably.
Both are made by fermenting milk.
Is there a difference between the two, or are they the same?

In India, curd is marketed as "yoghurt." see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curd Curd and Yoghurt are indeed used interchangeably in many parts of (mostly urban) India and the region in general, though probably not in the UK, the US and some other parts of the world. (Thanks to @Peter Shor for the guidelines). |

This answer seems to do a good job of explaining the difference. Yogurt and curd are similar in that bacteria are used to produce lactic acid to thicken the milk. They're different in that yogurt is made with pure culture for consistency. |

They are totally different things. I am a Turk and both products are highly consumed in Türkiye. We call curd as lor in Turkish, and it is very similar to cheese:
On the other hand, yoghurt is a different product.
Both are made of milk. |

In India curd and yogurt are the same: "curd" is called plain yogurt and if we add something to it, like fruit, it becomes fruit yogurt. |

Both Curd and Yoghurt are made from milk by fermentation. If it is plain it is curd and if more sugar added it is called yoghurt. |

In India, curd is often used when it is prepared domestically. When produced on a large scale and packed, it is termed yoghurt. |
