The Indian government expects GDP growth of 7.4 percent in the fiscal year ending in March, despite the trade conflict with the United States. This would see India overtake Japan in GDP terms and begin to catch up with Germany.

The forecast is in line with the average forecast among economists of 7.5 percent growth, according to a Bloomberg survey.

Nominally, growth of 7.4 percent would lift the country's production of goods and services to a value of 357,140 billion rupees (equivalent to 36,300 billion kronor).

China's GDP is roughly four times larger than India's, while the United States' is more than seven times larger, according to the International Monetary Fund's GDP calculations for last year.
