India Projects Rise To Third-Largest Economy

At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, BCG India head Rahul Jain says India is likely to become the world’s third-largest economy by around 2030, and could reach that milestone as early as 2028 if manufacturing expands from roughly 15–17% to over 20% of GDP. He highlights investments in clean energy, electronics and semiconductors, AI adoption, and resilient 'just-in-case' supply chains as drivers of accelerated growth.
