India achieved the 3rd position in the Asia Power Index 2025, marking a significant milestone in its regional and global standing. Published by the Lowy Institute, the index evaluates countries based on their ability to influence the Indo-Pacific through economic strength, military capability, diplomacy, and future resources. By crossing the 40-point threshold for the first time, India entered the category of a “Major Power,” placing it just behind the United States and China. This ranking reflects sustained progress in economic growth, defence preparedness, diplomacy, and long-term strategic potential.
