India Poised To Become Third Largest Economy by 2027
India’s current GDP of USD 4.3 trillion is just marginally behind Japan’s USD 4.4 trillion GDP. However, Japan’s GDP has remained stagnant in the past decade. Where India’s GDP has more than doubled in the past decade, Japan’s GDP stood at USD 4.4 trillion in 2015 and is still at USD 4.4 trillion.
Given that India’s GDP is expected to grow at over 6.5% in 2025, India is set to overtake Japan and become the world’s fourth-largest economy in the next few months.
However, to overtake Germany will take a little longer. In 2025, Germany’s GDP stood at USD 4.9 trillion. As per the current growth trajectory of India and Germany, India will overtake Germany to become the world’s third-largest economy in 2027.
One decade ago, India was the world’s seventh-largest economy. In 2025, India is the world’s fifth-largest economy, as it overtook France and the UK in the last decade.
