Delhi Projected to Become World’s 14th-Largest City Economy by 2050, Report Says
Delhi is projected to become one of the world's largest city economies by 2050, potentially ranking 14th with a GDP exceeding $1.8 trillion, according to Oxford Economics. Despite current challenges like strained infrastructure and environmental issues, Delhi's strong human capital—ranking 13th globally—supports its economic potential. This growth reflects a broader trend of rapid urban expansion in Indian and Chinese cities, driven by population size, productivity gains, and corporate depth, though concerns about air quality and income inequality remain.
