Just for fun, here's a hypothetical comparison between countries A and B, where country A is experiencing slowing growth and country B is experiencing accelerating growth:

As you can see, even at these hypothetically inflated values, country B is still lagging further behind country A.
That's because you are looking at absolute differences over too short a time span. Do A/B as well and you can see the percentage gap shrinking even as the absolute widen.
I did the original calculations at 11tn at 6.33% annual growth vs 2.5tn at 7.75%, fixed for both, and it worked out at 120 years for India to exceed China.
But if you do a percentage analysis, the closing of the gap should be apparent even in as short a timeframe as what you are looking at.
