New Delhi: India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy within the next seven years, according to a new report by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The report projects that India’s GDP will double to $7.3 trillion by 2030, surpassing Japan’s current GDP of $5 trillion. The report attributes India’s rapid economic growth to a number of factors, including its youthful demographic profile, rising urban household incomes, and increasing foreign direct investment inflows, as per a report carried by news agency IANS.

“India’s nominal GDP measured in USD terms is forecast to rise from $3.5 trillion in 2022 to $7.3 trillion by 2030. This rapid pace of economic expansion would result in the size of the Indian GDP exceeding Japanese GDP by 2030, making India the second largest economy in the Asia-Pacific region,” the report states.
