official India has FALLEN below the United
Kingdom (UK), slipping to being the sixth-largest economy with an estimated GDP size of $4.15 trillion, below the UK's $4.26 trillion in fiscal years 2026-27. The updates followed after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on April 14 raised the real GDP growth forecast of India for FY27 to 6.5 per cent, and domestic estimates predicted a real growth of 7.4 per cent in FY26.
The drop in global ranking is likely linked to a recent revision of the base year, which lowered its nominal GDP estimates. The weakening rupee has also contributed to the decline in India's ranking.
India's GDP stood at $3.92 trillion in 2025, falling slightly behind the UK's $4 trillion. As a result, expectations of India surpassing Japan to become the fourth-largest economy in 2025 have been pushed back. Updated government data released in February shows nominal GDP revised down from Rs 357 lakh crore to Rs 345.5 lakh crore under the new series. At an average exchange rate of Rs 87 per dollar for FY26, India's GDP in dollar terms remains below the $4 trillion mark.$BTC
