India raises to #4: Bypasses Japan to become the World's #4 Economy

From all of us, thank you for joining us as we welcome India as the world’s fourth-largest economy. The latest numbers from the government indicate that India's overall GDP is $4.18 trillion. What's exciting is that it resulted from substantial growth and smart government policies. To add even more excitement, by 2030, India's GDP is predicted to reach $7.3 trillion, with only the USA and China ahead. If trends continue as indicates, India will pass Germany and take over the #3 spot in approximately three years. Incredible isn’t it?

So what's behind the boom: what is fueling the boom in demand for Indian Goods?

The boom is not an accident; it’s an example of a "Goldilocks Phase." We have incredible growth at the same time as very low inflation. Real GDP growth in Q2 2025-26 of 8.2% is the best figure for the last six quarters, continues the trend of improvement from 7.8%. The growth in demand in India is broad-based, with substantial retail purchases being made in grocery stores and electronic goods.

There has also been a significant export growth rate as India’s exports totalled $38.13 billion in November (up from $36.43 billion in January). The sectors leading in Indian Exports include engineering goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals and petroleum. Picture the immense shipping containers that have recently been departing Deendayal Port in Gujarat. That is India’s ability to demonstrate its strength internationally. The Reserve Bank of India has estimated that GDP growth for FY2025 will exceed 7.3%. With corporate profits increasing and increased availability of capital.
