India's economy contracted by 5.8% in 2020. Since then, its GDP has grown at an average rate of 3.5% a year (-5.8% in 2020, +9.1% in 2021, +7.2% in 2022). In other words, it is still recovering from the impact of the pandemic.
If India's GDP manages to grow by 8% this year, that would bring its average growth rate from 2020 to 2023 to 4.625%. India's GDP really should be growing at a double-digit rate.
From 2020 to 2023, China's GDP grew at an average rate of 4.7% (+2.2% in 2020, +8.4% in 2021, +3% in 2022, +5.2% in 2023).
