Here is the chart showing India’s GDP growth in INR (Lakh Crore) from 2015 to 2025. Now, I’ll update the article with the figures in Indian Rupees.
From ₹174 Lakh Crore to ₹348 Lakh Crore: A rapid economic leap
India’s economy has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. In just ten years, the country’s GDP has doubled, jumping from ₹174 lakh crore (₹174 trillion) in 2014-15 to an estimated ₹348 lakh crore (₹348 trillion) in 2024-25. This massive growth has been driven by policy reforms, industrial expansion, and increased global investments.
Sectoral contributions: The rise of services and industry
The services sector remains India’s economic powerhouse, contributing around 55% of GDP in 2025, up from 52% in 2015. The industry sector has also expanded, rising from 30% to 32%, while agriculture’s share has reduced from 18% to 13%. This shift indicates a move towards urbanisation, digital growth, and increased manufacturing under initiatives like Make in India.
Per capita income growth: rising prosperity
The growth in GDP has led to a sharp increase in per capita income. In 2015, the average per capita income was ₹1.33 lakh, which is expected to reach ₹2.35 lakh by 2025. This rise reflects better earning opportunities and an expanding middle class.
FDI boom: India’s global investment magnet
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows have grown significantly. In 2015, India attracted ₹3.65 lakh crore ($44 billion) in FDI, which increased to ₹5.31 lakh crore ($64 billion) in 2020. By 2025, FDI is expected to touch ₹7.05 lakh crore ($85 billion), solidifying India’s position as a global investment hub.
India on the global economic map
India now stands as the fifth-largest economy, surpassing the UK and moving closer to Japan and Germany. By 2025, India’s GDP is projected at ₹348 lakh crore, while Germany is expected to reach ₹456 lakh crore ($5.5 trillion), and Japan at ₹406 lakh crore ($4.9 trillion). This growth trajectory suggests that India could soon become the third-largest economy in the coming years, trailing only the USA and China.
The road ahead: sustainable growth & innovation
India’s economic future looks promising with ongoing developments in infrastructure, digital technology, and green energy. Policies focused on industrial growth, ease of doing business, and financial inclusion will play a key role in maintaining this momentum.
