India becomes world’s fourth-largest economy, surpasses Japan

India’s rise to the fourth-largest economy marks a major milestone in its ongoing economic transformation. NITI Aayog CEO has confirmed the achievement, citing data from the International Monetary Fund. He further added that India is on track to surpass Germany next and emerge as the world’s third-largest economy. 

The country’s economic surge is driven by strong performance across key sectors, sustained investment flows, and strategic government-backed reforms. India had been close to Japan in terms of nominal GDP for months, but the latest data confirms a decisive lead.
