India has slipped to the 7th position in the global GDP rankings in 2018, marginally behind the UK and France, according to World Bank data. As per earlier data, India ($2.597 trillion) was on the 6th position in 2017, ahead of just France ($2.582 trillion). But, latest data suggests India was in fact the fifth-largest economy ahead of even the UK .

According to Devendra Pant, chief economist at India Ratings, the rupee appreciated 3 per cent in 2017, while it depreciated 5 per cent in 2018 . "This has resulted in slower growth of India's economy in dollar terms in 2018 against 2017," the Business Standard quoted him as saying.
