How India's Income Equality Outshines G7 Nations

India's Income Equality Outshines G7 Nations: World Bank Data Supports Modi's Inclusive Growth Model

India leads G20 and G7 nations with the lowest income inequality, as shown by the World Bank's Gini Index. Modi’s pro-poor policies are reducing disparity and driving equitable growth.

India Tops Global Equity with Lowest Gini Index Among G20 and G7 Nations

India has emerged as a global leader in equitable income distribution, according to the latest World Bank Gini Index data.

The Gini Index measures income inequality on a scale from 0 to 100—where a lower score signifies a more equal distribution of income.

With a Gini Index of 25.5, India showcases the most balanced allocation of income among the G20 and G7 nations. In comparison:
• USA scores 41.8
• Italy: 34.4
• UK: 33.6
• France: 31.2
• China: 35.7

These figures affirm Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claim that his governance has lifted over 250 million people out of poverty. Government initiatives such as:
• Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (housing)
• Ujjwala Yojana (clean cooking gas)
• Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT)
...have ensured that welfare reaches the poorest, contributing to India's more equitable social structure.

Modi’s Economic Vision Driving Equitable Prosperity and Strong GDP Growth

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects India’s GDP growth at 7.2% for 2025, reflecting a resilient and inclusive economic model.

In contrast, wealthy G7 nations are facing demographic and structural challenges despite their large GDP sizes:

• USA: $28 trillion – High inequality and rising costs of living
• France: $3 trillion – Aging population and welfare stress
• UK: $3.8 trillion – Economic stagnation and regional disparity
• Italy: $2.3 trillion – Low productivity and migration issues
• China: $19 trillion – Urban-rural divide and debt burden

India, under Modi, has emphasized digital transformation (e.g., UPI), rural infrastructure, and social welfare—empowering marginalized communities and fostering bottom-up development. 

This strategic model differentiates India on the global stage and solidifies its position as a future economic powerhouse with low disparity.

Opposition claims, especially from Congress leaders like Rahul gandhi, that India's rich-poor divide is widening are contradicted by this globally validated data.

The numbers speak: India’s governance model is driving growth that benefits all—not just the elite.
