India Surpasses Japan: World's 4th Largest Economy!

India has officially claimed its position as the world's fourth-largest economy, overtaking Japan. The nation's nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has reached an astounding $4.18 trillion, a significant achievement that places it among the top global economic powers. This remarkable growth means India now stands behind only the United States, China, and Germany in terms of overall economic size.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) projections have indicated this shift, with final annual GDP data expected to be officially confirmed in 2026. This economic ascendancy highlights India's rapidly expanding influence on the global stage and its robust growth trajectory over recent years.

The government's end-of-year economic review details this pivotal moment in India's economic history. As the nation continues its development, this new ranking underscores its increasing importance in international trade and finance.
