India is projected to become the world’s fourth largest economy in 2025, overtaking Japan, according to the April 2025 Outlook released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF estimates India’s GDP to reach $4.187 trillion, slightly ahead of Japan’s $4.186 trillion, placing India behind only the U.S., China, and Germany. This projection highlights the country’s rising economic trajectory and robust growth momentum driven by consumption and investment.
The IMF’s April 2025 World Economic Outlook has brought India into the global spotlight by forecasting its rise to the fourth largest economy by nominal GDP. This achievement is a significant milestone in India’s ambition to reach the $5 trillion economy mark by 2027 and reflects sustained economic performance in a challenging global environment.
