India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has doubled over the past decade, rising from USD 2.1 trillion in 2015 to an estimated USD 4.27 trillion by the end of 2025, according to the latest data released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

 

The figures highlight a 100 per cent expansion in the country's economic output within ten years, underscoring India's sustained growth trajectory.

 

The IMF further projects India's real GDP growth rate at 6.5 per cent for the current year, cementing its position as one of the world's fastest-growing economies.

 

Real GDP growth, which accounts for inflationary adjustments, reflects the country's increasing production of goods and services.

 

India’s inflation rate, a key economic determinant, is expected to stand at 4.1 per cent, remaining within the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) target range of 4 to 6 per cent.

Inflation remains a significant factor influencing consumer purchasing power and cost of living.

 

The IMF report also sheds light on India's GDP per capita, which is estimated at USD 11,940 in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). This indicates a steady rise in average income levels and an improvement in living standards over the years.

 

However, the IMF data also reveals that India’s general government gross debt currently stands at 82.6 per cent of GDP, signifying a high debt burden relative to economic output.

 

While elevated debt levels present challenges in fiscal management, the government has consistently pursued its fiscal targets while sustaining economic momentum.

 

The latest IMF figures reaffirm India's economic resilience, reflected in its rapid GDP expansion, stable growth trajectory, and rising per capita income.

 

However, inflationary trends and public debt remain critical areas of focus for policymakers in the years ahead.
