AI Set to Add $500-600 Billion to India’s GDP by 2035

A NITI Aayog report, "AI for Viksit Bharat", projects that faster AI adoption across industries could add $500-600 billion (₹44-53 lakh crore) to India’s GDP by 2035. With its large STEM workforce, expanding R&D, and digital capabilities, India can capture 10-15% of the global AI value pool. The report highlights that AI can significantly boost productivity in financial services and manufacturing, potentially contributing 20-25% of these sectors' GDP, while also creating new tech jobs and displacing low-skill roles. India’s GDP could rise from $6.6T to $8.3T by 2035 with AI-led growth, emphasizing the need for sector-specific strategies and frontier innovations for sustainable development.
