India on Track to Become World’s Second-Largest Economy by 2027, Says Mark Mobius
India could become the world’s second-biggest economy if it keeps growing strong and sticks to its current plans, says billionaire investor Mark Mobius. In recent years, India has jumped from the 11th-largest economy to the 5th-largest. As of 2025, it is behind only the US, China, Germany, and Japan in total money made (GDP).
The latest numbers from the IMF say India’s economy will reach $4.3 trillion this year, just below Japan’s $4.4 trillion and Germany’s $4.9 trillion. If things continue this way, India might pass Japan this year and Germany by 2027.
Mobius told IANS that India could even reach the number two spot worldwide. He said India has a much bigger population than China, with about 1.2 billion people, while China’s population might be 800 million or less, and its people are older on average.
He also said that if India removes trade barriers—like taxes and other restrictions—its factories could do better, helping the economy grow.
Mobius, who manages the Mobius EM Opportunities Fund for growing markets, also talked about India’s stock market. He said it had a big drop even before new US trade rules started. He advised investors to slowly buy good stocks now and wait for a recovery if they already own some.
Recently, India’s stock market bounced back strongly. On Tuesday, it gained Rs 11 lakh crore in one day, erasing all the losses from a US tariff shock on April 2. This big recovery was helped by positive feelings from investors and good news both in India and around the world.
