According to a research, the IMF's own projections place India behind the United States, China, Japan, and Germany this year in dollar terms, overtaking the UK. India was the eleventh-largest economy ten years ago, while the UK was the fifth-largest.

In keeping with its predictions from the start of this fiscal year, the government anticipates that the economy would expand by 7 to 7.5 percent in 2022–2023. India saw growth of 8.7% in 2021–2022

TV Somanathan, the finance secretary, stated on Wednesday, "We are still on track to meet the 7.4%. We aim to succeed. This doesn't exactly correspond to the yearly real GDP growth that is anticipated. Therefore, that range is between 7 and 7.5%. The IMF forecasts a 7.4% growth rate."

The announcement followed the release of the GDP figures, which revealed that the economy expanded by 13.5% in the April–June quarter, far less than the RBI's forecast of 16.2%.

And a quiet but resounding response to those who predicted disaster in India. a moment for introspection and thankfulness."

In the last three months of 2021, India overtook the UK. According to IMF GDP data, India increased its lead during the first quarter."
