The Evolution of India’s Economic Growth

India has made significant progress in its economic landscape, moving from a $270 billion economy in 1991 to a projected $4 trillion by 2024-25. This rapid growth is largely attributed to the compounding effect of consistent policy improvements initiated after the 1991 economic reforms. In the early years, India faced challenges with slow growth rates, often labeled the 'Hindu rate of growth,' which many blamed on cultural roots rather than poor policy choices. Today, India is expected to surpass Japan in GDP and may soon follow suit with Germany, emphasizing the importance of strategic policy execution in achieving sustainable economic development.
