New Delhi, April 17 -- India has dropped out of the list of the world's top five economies, with the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) latest World Economic Outlook now ranking it as the sixth-largest economy in nominal GDP terms.
The shift reflects currency-driven changes rather than structural weakness, with projections suggesting that India could regain the lost ground in the coming years.
According to the IMF's April 2026 World Economic Outlook, the latest estimates place the United States at over $30 trillion, China at around $19-20 trillion, Germany at about $5 trillion, and both Japan and the United Kingdom in the $4-4.5 trillion range.
With just over $4 trillion, India now ranks just below this group.
