Last Updated: NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam on Saturday announced that India has become the fourth largest economy in the world, surpassing Japan. Business tycoons Anand Mahindra and Harsh Goenka hailed the huge feat of India becoming the world's fourth largest economy surpassing Japan.

However, the Mahindra group chairperson said that everyone should stay dissatisfied and strive to increase India's per capita GDP. 'But as we celebrate, we must stay dissatisfied. Because India's next leap must be in per capita GDP, not just overtaking Germany. For us to keep Rising, India needs sustained economic reforms — in governance, infrastructure, manufacturing, education, and capital access," he added. 'From the land of zero to the 4th largest economy in the world! India surpasses Japan with a GDP of $4.187 trillion," Goenka said.
