Forbes' 2025 rankings of the world's most powerful countries place India at 12th, highlighting its growing economic and military strength. The United States remains the most powerful, followed by China and Russia. Despite a $3.55 trillion economy and a 1.43 billion population, India is yet to break into the top 10. The rankings consider economic influence, military capability, and global diplomacy. As India strengthens its international ties, experts predict its rise in future rankings. "India's strategic position and rapid development indicate its growing global influence," said an analyst. The rankings also feature Germany, Japan, and Saudi Arabia.
