Viksit Bharat @2047
The Developed-Economy Target
"Viksit Bharat @2047" is the government's stated vision of India becoming a developed nation by 2047, the centenary year of independence, as elaborated in NITI Aayog's "Vision for Viksit Bharat @2047" approach paper. It sets quantitative economic benchmarks alongside broader developmental goals (health, infrastructure, governance).
- NITI Aayog's approach paper envisions India as an approximately USD 30 trillion economy with per capita income near USD 18,000 by 2047
- The World Bank's current high-income country threshold is roughly USD 13,395 per capita (2026 classification), against India's present per capita income of roughly USD 2,500 — implying the need for sustained high growth (7–10% range) over the next two decades
- Achieving this requires avoiding the "middle-income trap," a term for countries whose growth stalls after reaching middle-income status without transitioning to high-value, innovation-driven production
