3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Above $4.4 trillion — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if India's nominal GDP exceeds $4.4 trillion in 2026. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met during that year. Readers often mistake the linked forex news for the resolution data, but only India's official 2026 GDP figures count.
  • India — the market puts it at 5%, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if India records two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about opposition parties for the actual resolution criteria.
  • By 2030 — the market puts it at 70%, closing 31 Dec 2031. The market resolves to Yes if India cuts the carbon emissions per unit of its GDP by at least 45% compared to 2005 levels by the year 2030. It resolves to No if that specific reduction target is not met within the deadline. Readers often mistake this for a total emissions cap rather than an intensity metric relative to economic output.
