<h1>Economic ranking: forecast projects India becoming the fourth largest economy by end 2025, subject to full annual GDP data.</h1> India is forecast to become the world's fourth largest economy by end 2025 based on international projections showing nominal GDP for 2025 marginally exceeding that of the current fourth largest economy; officials note this remains a forecast until full annual GDP data are available. The projections also report a significant rise in per capita income from a prior baseline and a modestly revised national growth projection for 2025-26, with downward pressure from global trade tensions and uncertainty, and emphasise comparing economies at current US dollar annual GDP.
