India has for the first time secured a place among the top 100 out of 193 countries ranked for their progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to a report published Tuesday.
According to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Solutions Network's 10th and latest Sustainable Development Report (SDR), India ranks 99th on the 2025 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Index with a score of 67, while China ranks 49th with 74.4 and the US 44th with 75.2 points.
Among India's neighbours, Bhutan takes 74th place with 70.5 points, Nepal ranks 85th with 68.6, Bangladesh 114th with 63.9 and Pakistan 140th with 57 points.
India's maritime neighbours, Maldives and Sri Lanka, stood at 53rd and 93rd places, respectively.
The report's authors said that SDG progress has stalled at the global level, with only 17 per cent of the 17 targets adopted by the UN member countries in 2015 projected to be achieved by 2030.
