NEW DELHI: Surpassing China, India will become the world's largest economy by 2050, says a report.

"China will overtake the US to become the world's largest economy by 2020, which in turn will be overtaken by India in 2050," according to Wealth Report 2012 by Knight Frank & Citi Private Bank.

As per the report, Indian economy will reach $85.97 trillion size in terms of purchasing power parity by 2050, while the Chinese GDP would be $80.02 trillion during the same period.

The US -- currently the world's largest economy -- is expected to have a GDP of $39.07 trillion by 2050.

Other nations in the top ten list of world's largest economies would be Indonesia (4th), Brazil (5th), Nigeria (6th):what:, Russia (7th), Mexico (8th), Japan (9th) and Egypt (10th).

In terms of growth from 2010-2050, India would be the second fastest with its economy growing at the rate of eight per cent in the period.

With a pace of 8.5%, Nigeria would be the fastest growing economy during the same period, the report said.

In 2010, India was world's fourth largest economy with a value of $3.92 trillion compared to China's $9.98 trillion and America's $14.12 trillion.

The report named Surat and Nagpur among fast-growing cities to watch in 2050.

"We believe the cities to watch in 2050 are the 400 emerging market middleweights - fast growing cities with populations between 200,000 and 10 million.

"This dynamic group includes many cities that are not household names today: Linyi, Kelamayi and Guiyang in China; Surat and Nagpur in India; Concepcion and Belem in Latin America," it said.




So here few members wer stating that now India is back to rickshaw growth and that west has loose all faith in Indian economy here is a report by world's biggest bank ie top notch economists of world.
 
We cannot have a good civil discussion on this topic.
Atleast not on this forum.
 
Fact is we are still with the tag of a developing nation and there is immense scope for all sectors , since most sectors are beginning from the bottom.

Everyday we hear of new port projects, new special economic Zones, mono rail/ speed rail projects, new universities, new infrastructure projects, new townships, new foreign investments etc.

Most of these goals have been achieved by Developed nations and also by nations with good economies like China.

We are slow to begin and when it begins, it can go to the limit.

But largest economy, err.. that needs a drastic change of mindset of the general public and administration including civil servants ,from bottom to top.

in terms of ppl we r already 3rd largest leaving the whole world behind and all the projects ur talking abt are being realised at rapid pace. everything is happening and problems faced are being solved slowly. we will gradually become the worlds largest economy. this is inevitable

anyways welcome trolls, time to party
 
Nigeria is a surprise inclusion... but nevertheless it is an oil rich nation. Only the ethnic conflicts will determine if it can stay on its growth path. Good to see an African nation in this list. I hope more join.

Bull$hit
Nothing is happening. The growth rates are being revised down 2%, there is a heavy policy paralysis, the country is mired in caste-based divisive politics, the education system is as pathetic as it can get with some of our students coming 2nd last in some test, urban infrastructure is crumbling, scams after scams are coming to the light with no action being taken on preventing it from happening again, taxes are increasing, govt, government revenues are drying up.
The only thing driving the economy into the future is the massive demographic window, which too is closing down on us, leaving us with millions of unskilled people.
 
If India keeps on following the path of five year plans and economic reforms anything is possible .:agree:

I agree with you... But we have to be careful in investing in infrastructure also.. we shouldn't over invest and get goofed up.. Countries like China, Japan, Dubai etc have done lot of goof up... infrastructure is needed but to the right proportion.... but what is more needed is encouraging SME's .... Already big firms are shining and are contributing in R&D along with national growth.. But more importance has to be given to SME's who have to be given chance for innovation and compete with the world... we are doing good with less budget and SME's can really if opportunity is given.. Secondly though Education is already there upto international standard but universities are not giving there full support in R&D and support for Industries
 
These banks have always predicted wrong in their calculations. They predicted Indian GDP per caita would be $1,200 in 2012 and Pakistani would be $1,000 in 2012.
