The economy has already moved beyond the three point nine trillion dollar level recorded in March 2025
India remains the world’s fifth largest economy and continues to expand
Sustained growth is seen as vital amid geopolitical uncertainty
India plans to align climate action, energy transition and greening efforts with near and medium term priorities
India is on course to cross the four trillion dollar mark in the current financial year, according to Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran. Speaking at the IVCA Green Returns Summit 2025 on Tuesday, he said the country had effectively moved beyond the 3.9 trillion dollar GDP recorded at the end of March 2025. India remains the fifth-largest economy globally.
Nageswaran noted that sustained economic growth was essential at a time when global geopolitics was in a state of significant flux. He argued that India’s growing economic weight would play a crucial role in maintaining its international leverage.
He stressed that efforts to green the economy, advance the energy transition, manage the environment, and respond to climate volatility needed to align with national priorities in both the near and medium terms. He also underlined that India remained fully aware of the long-term risks posed by global warming to agriculture, ecosystems, and coastal regions.
This awareness, he said, was the reason for India’s national commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2070.
