India is becoming a pivotal trade and investment destination. The IMF estimates nominal GDP at US$4.15 trillion in 2026, while the Government of India projects a US$8.6 trillion economy by 2040. IMF-based projections indicate that GDP per capita could rise from US$2,810 in 2026 to US$4,346 in 2030. This income transition is deepening financial markets: mutual-fund assets reached ₹85.76 trillion in July 2026; Swiss Re forecasts 6.9% annual real insurance-premium growth during 2026–2030; and BCG expects India to add more than US$2 trillion in wealth by 2030.
