- What is India's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (constant LCU)?
- 294.4 trillion in 2025, according to the World Bank (World Development Indicators).
- How has it changed since 1960?
- It is up 2,521% from 11.23 trillion in 1960 (5.15% a year on average, compounded). The highest value was 294.4 trillion in 2025 and the lowest 11.23 trillion in 1960.
- How does India rank?
- 6th highest of 161 economies with data for 2025.
- Is the latest change in gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (constant LCU) unusual for India?
- In 2025, India's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (constant LCU) rose 7.7% on 2024 (from 273.36 trillion to 294.4 trillion). Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +6.3% and a typical year strayed about 2.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
- Where is India's gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices (constant LCU) heading?
- From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 11.78 trillion a year. A straight line explains 93% of the movement over 10 observed years. Extending that straight line gives about 313.58 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 19.65 trillion, against 36.55 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
