India achieved a major economic milestone in 2025 by becoming the world’s fourth-largest economy in nominal GDP terms. With a GDP valued at $4.18 trillion, India moved ahead of Japan, which had long been among the top global economies. This achievement reflects strong domestic consumption, sustained structural reforms, rising investment activity, and robust GDP growth rates. Accelerating quarterly growth and positive projections from international institutions further underline India’s economic momentum. Surpassing Japan also signals a broader shift in global economic power toward emerging economies and strengthens India’s role in global economic decision-making.+
