India has officially become the fourth largest economy in the world, overtaking Japan, according to B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, Chief Executive Officer of the National Institution for Transforming India, commonly known as NITI Aayog.
Subrahmanyam made this announcement while addressing the media following the 10th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog.
He revealed that India’s economy has now surpassed the US$ 4 trillion mark. Citing data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), he confirmed that India’s economy is now larger than that of Japan.
