India has surpassed Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy with a GDP of USD 4.18 trillion, according to government reports. The country is also the fastest-growing major economy globally, with real GDP expanding by 8.2% in the second quarter of 2025-26. Projections indicate India could overtake Germany to become the third-largest economy by 2030, with a GDP potentially reaching USD 7.3 trillion. This growth is attributed to robust domestic consumption and structural reforms, demonstrating resilience amid global trade uncertainties.
