India's Economic Transformation Since 1991

In 1991, India opened its economy to the rest of the world, abolishing licensing for most businesses and implementing other reforms. Since then, India's GDP growth has been consistently above 4% and has reached as high as 8% in some years. Currently, India is the fifth largest economy in the world, with the potential to surpass China in the near future. The GDP per capita in India is around $2,200, indicating significant room for growth. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has been increasing in India, reaching a record high of nearly $84 billion in 2021-2022. These factors, along with the potential shift of production from China, make India an attractive investment opportunity.
