“India’s nominal GDP … is expected to grow from $ 2.7 trillion in 2021 to $ 8.4 trillion by 2030,” said IHS Markit. “This rapid pace of economic expansion would translate into a size of India’s GDP exceeding Japan’s GDP by 2030, making India the second-largest economy in the Asia-Pacific region.” By 2030, India’s economy would also be larger than the largest economies in Western Europe, Germany, France and the UK.

The long-term outlook for the Indian economy is supported by a number of key growth drivers.
