India Becomes World's Third-Largest Economy, Surpassing Japan
India officially overtakes Japan to become the world's third-largest economy by GDP, marking a historic milestone in its economic journey.
India has officially overtaken Japan to become the world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP, according to the latest IMF data. India's GDP now stands at $5.8 trillion, compared to Japan's $5.4 trillion.
Growth Drivers
The milestone has been driven by India's booming technology sector, rapid urbanization, a young workforce of 900 million working-age adults, and significant digital transformation through initiatives like UPI and Digital India.
Prime Minister's office released a statement saying this achievement "reflects the hard work of 1.4 billion Indians and our commitment to becoming a developed nation by 2047."
