Analysis

By total government debt, India ranks 8th and Algeria 49th among the 135 sovereigns tracked on this site.

On a per-citizen basis the picture can look different from the nominal totals: a resident's notional share of the government debt in Algeria is roughly 1.5× that in India ($3,484 vs $2,274 per person).

The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: India sits at 84% of GDP, well above Algeria's 52%, meaning India owes far more relative to the size of its own economy — even where the nominal, dollar-for-dollar comparison above suggests otherwise.

The gap between them is widening: India's debt is growing faster in dollar terms ($3K/sec vs $754/sec for Algeria), adding roughly $152,409,600 to the difference each day.

Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.48B) is about 30.7× Algeria's (48M), which is part of why the nominal and per-capita comparisons above can point in different directions — a government's debt load scales loosely with the size of both its economy and its population, not either alone.
