According to IMF inflation-adjusted data, India’s GDP grew 77% from $2.4 trillion in 2015 to $4.3 trillion in 2025. This exceptional growth has reinforced India’s position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy, surpassing several traditional economic powerhouses.

India’s Position in Global Rankings

With this expansion, India is set to surpass Japan’s economy in 2025 and is on track to overtake Germany by 2027, positioning itself among the world’s top three economies in the near future.

Government’s Role in Economic Growth

BJP leader Amit Malviya credited this achievement to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, citing policies focused on:

  • Structural economic reforms
  • Ease of doing business initiatives
  • Investment-friendly policies

These efforts have transformed India’s economy, making it one of the most attractive destinations for global investments.

India vs. Other Global Economies

China’s Economic Growth

  • China’s GDP grew by 74%, increasing from $11.2 trillion in 2015 to $19.5 trillion in 2025.
  • Economic headwinds, including pandemic-related slowdowns and property sector challenges, have impacted its long-term projections.

United States’ Economic Expansion

  • The U.S. retained its position as the world’s largest economy, with GDP rising from $23.7 trillion in 2015 to $30.3 trillion in 2025—a 28% growth rate.
  • While slower than Asian economies, the U.S. remains a dominant force in global financial stability.

Growth in Other Major Economies

  • UK, France, Germany, and Japan saw moderate growth between 6% and 14% over the decade.
  • Brazil recorded the lowest growth (8%), struggling due to the 2014 commodity crash, recession, and COVID-19 disruptions.

India’s unprecedented GDP growth has reshaped the global economic landscape, signaling a shift in economic power towards emerging markets. If the current momentum continues, India is poised to become one of the top three global economies within the next few years.
