Is India richer than Türkiye?
India's GDP per person at purchasing power parity was $11,748 in 2025, 26% of Türkiye's $45,288, so Türkiye is the richer of the two by this measure. At market exchange rates, GDP per person was $2,702 in India and $18,599 in Türkiye. India ranks 123rd and Türkiye 48th of the 186 countries with figures.
How far does a dollar go in India compared with Türkiye?
Prices across India's economy averaged 56% of Türkiye's in 2025, so $100 spent in India buys about what $179 buys in Türkiye, and a dollar goes 79% further in India. Against the United States, prices averaged 23% of US prices in India and 41% in Türkiye. The World Bank's PPP conversion factor was 20.09 (Indian rupee) per international dollar in India and 16.20 (New Turkish lira) in Türkiye.
How big is India's economy compared with Türkiye's?
In 2025, India's GDP was $3.96 trillion at market exchange rates and $17.2 trillion at PPP; Türkiye's GDP was $1.60 trillion at market exchange rates and $3.89 trillion at PPP. At market rates India's economy is 2.5 times Türkiye's, and at PPP 4.4 times. India has 1.46 billion people and Türkiye 85.9 million.
Do people earn more in India or Türkiye?
In 2025, gross national income per person by the World Bank's Atlas method was $2,760 in India and $16,300 in Türkiye; at PPP it was $11,600 and $44,630. The World Bank classes India as lower middle income and Türkiye as upper middle income. In household surveys, the median person's income or consumption was $5.94 a day ($2,168 a year) in India, from a 2023 survey of consumption, and $27.75 a day ($10,129 a year) in Türkiye, from a 2023 survey of income, in 2021 international dollars. Income and consumption aren't measured the same way, so compare those two with care.
How has GDP per person changed since 2000?
After inflation, GDP per person at PPP grew 234% in India from 2000 to 2025, 4.9% a year, and grew 151% in Türkiye, 3.8% a year. India's was 20% of Türkiye's in 2000 and 27% in 2025.
What is purchasing power parity (PPP)?
A rate that converts money between countries by what it buys rather than by the exchange rate. An international dollar buys in any country what a US dollar buys in the United States. The World Bank's International Comparison Program prices the same goods and services around the world to set these rates, so GDP at PPP compares how much economies actually produce, without exchange rate swings or price gaps.
What's the difference between GDP and GNI?
GDP is the value of everything produced inside a country. GNI, gross national income, adds income residents earn abroad and takes away income sent to foreign owners and workers. They differ most where foreign companies or workers take a large share, as in Ireland or Luxembourg, so GNI per person is closer to what a country's residents earn.
What is the World Bank Atlas method?
A way of converting GNI to US dollars that averages a country's exchange rate over three years, adjusted for inflation, so one year's currency swing doesn't jump it from one income group to another. The World Bank uses it to sort countries into low, lower-middle, upper-middle and high income each July.
Why is the median income missing or old for some countries?
Median income or consumption comes from household surveys, which most countries run every few years and some haven't run in a long time. Many lower-income countries measure what households spend rather than what they earn. This page shows the latest survey from the past 15 years in the World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform, with its year, and says when there isn't one.
Where do these figures come from?
From the World Bank's World Development Indicators, last updated October 8, 2026, with figures through 2025, and median income or consumption from its Poverty and Inequality Platform (September 22, 2026 release). Each figure is the latest the World Bank has for that country, from 2015 on; an older one is left out. The IMF publishes its own estimates, which usually differ by a few percent.
Is this comparison financial advice?
No. It's an educational comparison of official statistics. A country's average price level covers its whole economy, so your own costs in either place depend on where you live and what you buy.
How does the comparison work?
- GDP and GNI in US dollars use market exchange rates; at PPP they use the World Bank's purchasing power parities, in international dollars.
- The price level is a country's GDP at market rates divided by its GDP at PPP: its prices against US prices, across the whole economy, not just what households buy. What $100 buys elsewhere is $100 times the ratio of the two price levels.
- GNI per person uses the Atlas method, the measure behind the World Bank's income groups.
- The chart is GDP per person at PPP in constant 2021 international dollars, so it shows growth after inflation.
