India has achieved an extraordinary economic milestone, doubling its GDP by 105 per cent over the last decade, from $2.1 trillion in 2015 to $4.3 trillion in 2025, according to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In comparison, the United States and China saw GDP growths of 66 per cent and 44 per cent , respectively, during the same period. As a result, India has become the world’s fifth-largest economy, trailing only the United States ($30.3 trillion), China ($19.5 trillion), Germany ($4.9 trillion), and Japan ($4.4 trillion).
India is poised to surpass Japan soon, as Japan’s GDP showed no growth over the past decade, as per IMF data. BJP Minister Amit Malviya highlighted this achievement by sharing the IMF data on his official X account.
Malviya said, “India’s GDP has surged from $2.1 trillion in 2015 to $4.3 trillion in 2025, marking an unprecedented 105 per cent growth that surpasses all major global economies. This remarkable progress is a reflection of the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government’s tireless efforts.”
He continued, “Thanks to proactive economic policies, bold structural reforms, and a focus on improving the ease of doing business, the Modi government has steered India to become the fastest-growing major economy globally – a position no other government has achieved since independence. These transformative initiatives are not only driving India’s rapid economic growth but also reshaping the global economic order, positioning India ahead of long-established global powers.”
