Live side-by-side comparison of government debt. India currently owes about 389.7× more — a gap of $3.47 trillion. Updated every second from IMF baselines.
By total government debt, Mongolia ranks 119th-largest and India ranks 8th-largest among the 137 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 national debt in Mongolia is roughly 1.1× that in India ($2,705 vs $2,415 per person).
The debt-to-GDP picture is asymmetric here: India sits at 82% of GDP, well above Mongolia's 42%, 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 ($7K/sec vs $22/sec for Mongolia), adding roughly $620,179,200 to the difference each day.
Scale is part of the story too: India's population (1.44B) is about 436.7× Mongolia's (3M), 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.
Mongolia and India are both grouped under this site's “Asia-Pacific” region, so this is, in effect, an intra-regional comparison as well.
