According to the IMF World Economic Outlook (April 2026), India’s GDP (nominal) per capita is projected to be $2,813 in 2026 at current prices. In 2002, India’s nominal GDP per capita stood at $469, meaning it has increased by a substantial $2,344 over the past 24 years.

In 1993, India’s GDP per capita was 6.47% of the global GDP per capita; it improved to 18.3% in 2026. India’s nominal GDP per capita is over 102 times lower than that of the richest country, Monaco, and approximately 7.33 times greater than that of the world’s poorest country, Yemen.

India is in 153rd position out of 195 economies in terms of GDP (nominal) per capita. India’s nominal GDP per capita is similar to those of Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Kenya. All European, North American, and South American countries, along with 21 African countries, have higher per capita figures than India, while only two Oceanian economies have lower figures.

Using aggregated data from the World Bank and the IMF, India ranked 140th among 150 economies in 1975, placing it in approximately the bottom 7% of economies. In 1991, it ranked 173rd among 194 economies, placing it in the bottom 11%. In 2008, India ranked 179th among 212 economies, placing it in the bottom 16%. By 2026, India ranks 153rd among 195 economies, placing it in approximately the bottom 22%.

India ranks 41st among Asian countries and 5th among South Asian countries, behind the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

Based on purchasing power parity (PPP), India’s GDP per capita is projected at Int. $12,801 in 2026, equivalent to approximately 47.2% of the world’s GDP per capita. India ranks 127th globally and 37th among Asian economies in terms of GDP (PPP) per capita.

Nominal GDP per capita, or GDP per capita at current prices, in 2025–26 is estimated at ₹243,803, up from ₹225,896 in 2024–25. At constant 2022–23 prices, GDP per capita is estimated at ₹227,447 in 2025–26.

India’s per capita net national income (NNI) at current prices in 2025–26 is estimated at ₹208,090, up from ₹192,774 in 2024–25. In real terms, at constant 2022–23 prices, per capita NNI is estimated at ₹193,480 in 2025–26, compared with ₹181,172 in 2024–25.
