Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday tabled the Economic Survey of India in Parliament for the financial year 2025–26, two days ahead of the presentation of the Union Budget on February 1.
The survey, regarded as the country’s official annual report card on the state of the economy, projected that India’s GDP growth in FY27 is likely to remain in the range of 6.8 per cent to 7.2 per cent.
It noted that growth remains resilient, driven primarily by strong domestic demand, even as the global economic environment continues to be fragile. The survey said India’s growth is holding up better than expected compared to many other economies, though risks remain elevated amid ongoing global uncertainties.
