==Introduction==
==Relative global rank of India==
The sortable table is based on various sources, as noted in the table. It provides, amongst other things, a relative ranking of India in the world, for various economic, demographic, infrastructure, trade and other metrics.
The sortable table is based on various sources, as noted in the table. It provides, amongst other things, a relative ranking of India in the world, for various economic, demographic, infrastructure, trade and other metrics.


Each ranking includes, where available, the number of countries used for comparison. The total number of countries used for relative ranking vary for various reasons. In some cases, current data for the specified year is unavailable for certain countries. In other cases, data is available but only for years too old to make an objective comparison. In few cases, the metric category such as motor vehicle production does not apply because many countries do not have motor vehicle production plants.

This article is a comparative fact sheet on India.

Einführung

The sortable table is based on various sources, as noted in the table. It provides, amongst other things, a relative ranking of India in the world, for various economic, demographic, infrastructure, trade and other metrics.

Each ranking includes, where available, the number of countries used for comparison. The total number of countries used for relative ranking vary for various reasons. In some cases, current data for the specified year is unavailable for certain countries. In other cases, data is available but only for years too old to make an objective comparison. In few cases, the metric category such as motor vehicle production does not apply because many countries do not have motor vehicle production plants.

Allgemein

Kategorie Explanation Global Ranking Notes (Reference)
Population Population counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship, except for refugees not permanently settled if any. 2nd of 217 [1]
Population growth rate Annual population growth rate for year t is the exponential rate of growth of midyear population from year t-1 to t, expressed as a percentage. The estimate is based on databases of United Nations Population Division and Census of India. 102nd of 212 as of 2010[2]
Labour force Total labor force comprises people ages 15 and older who meet the International Labour Organization definition of the economically active population: all people who supply labor for the production of goods and services. It includes both the employed and the unemployed. While people in military are included, homemakers and unpaid caregivers are excluded. 2nd as of 2009[2]

Infrastructure

Kategorie Explanation Global Ranking Notes (Reference)
Exports of goods and services (current US$) Exports of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services provided to the rest of the world. They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and all services. Excluded are investment income and transfer payments. Data normalized to current U.S. dollars. 15th as of 2010[2]
Imports of goods and services (current US$) Imports of goods and services represent the value of all goods and other market services received from the rest of the world. They include the value of merchandise, freight, insurance, transport, travel, royalties, license fees, and all services. Excluded are investment income and transfer payments. Data normalized to current U.S. dollars. 12th as of 2010[2]
Time to export (days) The fastest legal period necessary to export an order. It starts when shipment is initiated to when the shipment is complete and outside India. If multiple documents can be processed in parallel, it is assumed that it is done simultaneously. This measure indicates the relative bureaucracy and red tape paperwork delays between two countries. 72nd of 182 as of 2010[2]
Logistics performance index Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is the weighted average of the country scores on the following six key dimensions: efficiency of the clearance process (i.e. speed, simplicity and predictability of formalities) by border control agencies, including Customs; Quality of trade and transport related infrastructure (e.g. ports, railroads, roads, information technology); Ease of arranging competitively priced shipments; Competence and quality of logistics services (e.g., transport operators, customs brokers); Ability to track and trace consignments; Timeliness of shipments in reaching destination within the scheduled or expected delivery time. This measure indicates the relative ease and efficiency with which products can be moved into and inside a country. Germany and Singapore are the most efficient and highest ranked LPI countries. 47th of 155 as of 2010[3]
Electricity production (kWh) Electricity production is power generated by hydropower, coal, oil, gas, nuclear, geothermal, solar, wind, tidal wave energy, combustible renewables and waste incineration plants. Production includes electricity only as well as cogen heat and power plants. This measure is an indication of energy production in a country to empower its economic growth and power its current energy needs. While interesting on an absolute basis, this measure is better compared on per capita basis. This data is based on International Energy Agency monitoring-based databases. 5th of 134 as of 2010[2]
Mobile phone users Mobile phone users are mobile phone connections installed and in use. This measure suggests the market size of mobile connected customers and relative penetration of communication technologies. 2nd of 219 as of 2010[1]
Internet users Internet users are people with access to the worldwide network. This measure suggests the market size of internet users and relative penetration of internet-driven communication technologies. 4th of 214 as of 2010[2]
Rail network 4th [1]
Road network 3rd [1]
Airport 23rd as of 2010[1]
Ease of doing business Ease of doing business index ranks economies by measuring the regulatory environment and whether it is conducive to business operation. A rank of #1 means it is easiest for entrepreneurs and talented people to start business in the country than all other countries; while a rank of 183 means it is most difficult. The metric includes ease of starting a business, dealing with permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. 132nd of 183 as of 2012[4]
