Depends on if the Communist Party of India (or any of the other 3 communist parties) can take power. As long as liberal governments hold power in India, and that includes Modi, they are doomed as their economy will remain structured to transfer wealth out of India into the imperialist core countries.

If India was going to be the next China, they would've already been. As Indians like to say they have all the advantages that China doesn't. India says they're the tortoise in the race between the hare and the tortoise. No, they're the hare. It's the hare who is arrogant thinking it has all the advantages. India hasn't realized the race already happened long ago and they lost.
The same people who think India's gonna be the next China are the same people who believe in Blank Slate Equalism ie they believe in the tooth fairy and democracies can handle outbreaks better, ie it's a crock of shit.
Certainly you have intelligent indians and a few savants here and there but do they have the support structure ie meritocracy required to harness that intelligence and productivity? We can see from the ingrained caste structure bleeding even into western mega corps like CISCO and Microsoft that this is not the case.

India offers nothing to the global economy other than a massive low income market. It had the chance to become China but they failed. With AI based manufacturing increasing its footprint, India's cheap low-skilled labour will soon become redundant , thereby dashing their hopes of becoming a manufacturing superpower and stagnating their economy for the next century.
Pakistan unfortunately had pathetic leadership who unnecessary got involved in US politics. Pakistan participating in the War on terror was the biggest blunder ever committed and its affects will be seen for the next 20-30 years too. You cannot have a strong economy with unstable polity and weak security apparatus.

Structurally India had a lot of problem, huge population, illiteracy, religion, corrupt bureaucracy, regionalism, environmental disaster and lack of infrastructure. All of these is interconnect, a top down solution as what Modi and past Congress minister had done is insufficient, it need a major revolution coming from below a mass movement. The problem is most Indian like to talk and nobody want to lead, the sense of nationalism is there for their own selfish desire rather than the benefit for all.

You look at places like India and Honduras and Colombia and you'll see why the West loves these countries; they are weak, poverty stricken and led by similar weak and compliant comprador classes eager to GTFO of dodge to emigrate to the West, thereby contributing to the brain drain of these same countries to the strengthening and betterment of the West.
This is the model the West wants for the rest of the world and the same model India's leaders are happy to accept whilst they send their families and wealth to the UK/US/Australia and encourage the rest of their billion plus compatriots to fight China for the strengthening and betterment of the West.

Only 1 in 7 Indian infants receive an adequate diet during the critical early years of development.
So 6 out of 7 infants aren't able to fully develop their brains or bodies.
And this legacy will follow them for the rest of their lives.
It's a big hurdle to overcome.

You can actually see the effects of stunted mental development in how easily the indian population are swayed by propaganda and hingutva ideology, let alone the feeble constitution in dealing with the rigours of war.
The only potential market China should consider India is as an unofficial arms market for insurgent groups.
Super duper India at work.
India’s bullet train faces 5-year delay: High costs, Japan firms not so keen
The Indian Express has learnt that the Railways now expects the project to be commissioned fully by October 2028, instead of the original timeline of December 2023.
FROM LOW participation by Japanese companies to tenders cancelled because of steep rates quoted by bidders, India’s first bullet train project is stuck on multiple fronts — and staring at a delay of around five years.
The Indian Express has learnt that the Railways now expects the project to be commissioned fully by October 2028, instead of the original timeline of December 2023. The revised timeline has been estimated after talks with the Japanese team that is working on the project, sources said.
