India has dropped to sixth place in the world’s GDP rankings, with the UK moving ahead, according to the IMF’s April 2026 World Economic Outlook. India’s nominal GDP is estimated at $3.92 trillion for 2025 versus the UK’s $4 trillion. A weaker rupee and updated GDP base year caused the shift, ending India’s three-year streak as fifth-largest economy.
