India’s nominal GDP is shown to grow from $3.7 trillion in 2023, when it ranked fifth, to $7.3 trillion by 2030. According to S&P Global projections, India’s GDP is expected to rise to third by 2030 place in the world.
India GDP 2030
S&P Global Ratings said in a report that India will continue to be the fastest-growing global economy over the next three years, making it the third-largest economy in the world by 2030.
The world’s fifth largest economy, India, is forecast by S&P to grow at a rate of 6.4% in the current fiscal year and reach 7% in the next fiscal year.
In contrast, it predicts that China’s growth will decrease from this year’s forecast of 5.4% to 4.6% by 2026. About 53% of Indians are under the age of 30, making them one of the youngest working populations in the world.
What is GDP?
The market value of all finished goods and services produced by a country or countries over a given time is expressed in monetary units as gross domestic product or GDP.
The government of a country most often uses GDP to assess the state of that country’s economy. This measure often changes before it is considered a reliable figure due to its subjective and complex nature.
India Growth Rate Prediction According To S&P
India’s GDP growth rate was estimated by S&P in its Global Credit Outlook 2024 at 6.4% for the fiscal year ending March 2024, down from 7.2% in the previous fiscal year.
According to the rating agency, the growth rate will remain at 6.4% in the coming fiscal year (2024-2025), increase to 6.9% in the following and 7% in 2026-2027. We see India reaching seven percent of its GDP in 2026-27 per annum.”
S&P projected that “India will develop into the third largest GDP economy by 2030 and we expect it to be one of the largest economies in the next three years.
In the coming decade, the ecosystem of high-potential startups, particularly in the financial and consumer technology sectors, could expand due to India’s strong domestic digital market, S&P noted.
That’s S&P’s view just after India’s GDP grew at a faster-than-expected 7.6% in the September quarter.
What should India do to enhance its Economic Rate?
Upskilling employees and encouraging more women to enter the workforce are two ways S&P suggests unlocking labor market potential. According to the agency, India could fully reap the benefits of its demographic dividend if these areas are successful.
S&P also notes that over the next decade, India’s domestic digital market could help fuel the rise of a fast-growing startup ecosystem, particularly in the consumer and financial technology sectors.
S&P also sees room for expansion in India’s auto industry, pointing to progress in infrastructure, higher investment, and innovation as drivers. The S&P forecast was released days after India’s GDP grew at a faster-than-expected 7.6% during the September quarter.
