# India → United States economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
India: $10,039

India is at 13% of United States.

## Scenario

India annual growth: 4.8% (trailing 10-year average)
United States annual growth: 1.8% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result

If India grew 4.8% a year and United States 1.8% a year, India would catch up with United States on GDP per capita (PPP) in about 69 years, around 2095. This is a scenario, not a forecast.
