India is set to enter a crucial phase of economic expansion. This period could redefine long-term wealth creation. The insight comes from Motilal Oswal Financial Services’ 30th Wealth Creation Study, which highlights a significant acceleration in the country’s economic growth and consumption patterns over the next 17 years.
A wealth-creation study outlines a parallel with the last growth cycle. During that period, India’s GDP expanded fourfold from $1 trillion in 2008 to $4 trillion in 2025. The study suggests a similar revolution could take the economy to $16 trillion by 2042. Unlike before, when $3 trillion was added in absolute GDP, the next phase is expected to add $12 trillion. This could create a stronger wealth effect, potentially significantly increasing consumption, investment, and corporate profitability.

​Financial services ecosystems are expected to be the strongest pillar of this expansion. Incremental household savings are estimated at $47 trillion over the period. Banks, NBFCs, insurers, AMCs, wealth managers, capital market platforms, and other negotiators are expected to play a prominent role. They will direct these savings into productive financial assets as households move further toward formal wealth-creation avenues. Overall, the whole study reveals that the next 17 years India could mark a step change in its economic wealth trajectory.Â
