India has become the world's sixth-biggest economy, pushing France into seventh place, according to updated World Bank figures for 2017.
India's gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to $2.597 trillion at the end of last year, against $2.582 trillion for France.
The country's economy rebounded strongly from July 2017, after several quarters of slowdown.
India, with a population of around 1.34 billion, is poised to become the world's most populous nation, whereas the French population stands at 67 million. This means that India's per capita GDP continues to amount to just a fraction of that of France which is still roughly 20 times higher, according to World Bank figures.
