Assessing The Viability of India's High-Income Transition Through Growth Projections and Structural Reforms For 2047
Abstract
This research explores India’s economic advancement over the next 25 years, specifically focusing on growth, inclusivity, and sustainability through different approaches using validated sources such as NITI Aayog, World Bank, Reserve Bank of India, Ministry of New & Renewable Energy. To develop as a Truly Advanced Nation, India must reach a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of US$30.0 trillion (US$18,000 per capita/year) by 2047, requiring an average year-to-year growth rate of 7.8% to 8.0%. India has already made strides towards achieving Financial Inclusion (as measured by the Financial Inclusion Index by RBI - 67% as of March 2025) and Renewable Energy Generation Capacity (close to 209 GW to 220 GW by Year-End 2024). Additionally, the applications of structural reforms around better Capital Efficiency, Human Capital investment, and use of Green Technology will be essential prerequisites to ensure Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Development in India moving forward into the 21st century.
