    From Wikipedia comes a great answer with recent data:

    "The economy of India is the fourth-largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), with a GDP of US $3.36 trillion. When measured in USD exchange-rate terms, it is the tenth largest in the world, with a GDP of US $691.87 billion (2004). India was the second fastest growing major economy in the world, with a GDP growth rate of 8.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2005–2006. However, India's huge population results in a relatively low per capita income of $3,100 at PPP."

    And from the CIA Factbook we get a 2005 estimate of $3,400 as measured in PPP.

    This leaves India at #155 in the world in terms of per capita income. For comparison's sake, China ranks #118 and the US #4.
