India has gone past France to emerge as the sixth largest economy of the world, as per the latest World Bank trends. Indian Economy is one of the fastest booming economies in the world and also one of the biggest emerging global markets. India’s GDP at the end of 2017 stood at $2.597 trillion while that of France was $ 2.582 trillion. 

After facing certain slowdowns the economy of India recovered well in 2017 and went on to surpass France. Indian economy pushed France to the seventh spot as per the latest trends from the World Bank.
