According to the figures released by World Bank for the year 2017 India has emerged as the sixth largest economy by surpassing France. India's GDP worked out to be $2.597 trillion in comparison to France's $2.582 trillion. India's growth was stunted as a result of some of PM Modi's reforms such as demonetization and faulty implementation of new tax regime, Goods and Services Tax.

This is far higher than the world's expected average 3.9% growth rate. According to London-based Centre for Economics and Business Research, a consultancy, India may even overtake both Britain and France in terms of GDP by the end of 2018. They predict that India may become the third largest economy by 2032.
