The report estimated that India’s average GDP growth would be around 6% against China’s 5.9% during this period. The average growth of six south Asian countries — Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand — except China — will be around 5.4% with Myanmar leading the list. These are the findings of JICA’s survey on infrastructure development for regional connectivity in and around south Asia.

In 2011-12, the per capita income of Delhi was $3624 and Thailand ($5,480). Per capita income of India is expected to increase from $1,489 in 2011-12 to $3.275 in 2030, the survey added.
