Equirus Report Projects India Could Reach $20 Trillion Economy by 2036 with Reforms
A report by domestic brokerage Equirus projects India could become a $20 trillion economy by 2036 if it achieves sustained rupee growth of about 14.2% and annual rupee appreciation of 3-3.6%. This would require expanding the economy roughly 5.5 times from the current $3.7 trillion, with services growing as the main driver. The report outlines a 20-step reform agenda across sectors including capital markets, human capital, and urban governance to support this growth trajectory amid global challenges.
