April 18 , 2026 15 hrs 0 min 34 0
  • The International Monetary Fund stated that India became the 6th largest economy in 2025 based on global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rankings.
  • India’s GDP is about 3.92 trillion United States dollars, and rankings are calculated in dollar terms for global comparison.
  • India dropped from 5th position and is now behind the United Kingdom and Japan, while the United States, China and Germany remain ahead.
  • The change is mainly due to depreciation of the Indian rupee and strengthening of the United States dollar, not due to weak domestic growth.
  • India recorded about 9 % nominal GDP growth in rupee terms, showing strong economic performance.
