India's economy is at 2.597 trillion dollars at the end of 2017according to World Bank figures, surpassing 2.582 trillion for France. India's economy has doubled in a decade and is expected to pass Germany and Japan in GDP by 2032, to become the third largest after the U.S. and China.

As China's growth has slowed India's is growing. It recovered by July 2017 from one time events designed to actually spur growth such as the effort to implement a nationwide tax for GST. Demonetization also contributes to growth by accelerating the shift away from cash to recorded and taxable transactions. The tax revenue is increasing as less of the economy is in the black market sector. Higher tax revenues enable larger investments in health, education and infrastructure.

New bankruptcy law and speedy resolution of bad debt of banks is also laying the ground for future growth with new investment.

India's new GST, Goods and Services Tax, replacing a patchwork of 15 state based taxes- expected to increase economic growth by 0.5%-2% a year

08/04/2016

The new GST tax is on the agenda since 2011, as it is a major hindrance for moving goods across India's state boundaries. Each state has its own tax policy and regulations- a big headache for businesses. The Modi government faces a challenge in setting the rate for GST at a level that does not spark inflation, helps job growth and manufacturing. It is a big win not just for the Modi government but for India, even though it took so long to pass the legislation.
