Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tabled the Economic Survey of India 2025–26 in the Lok Sabha earlier in the day. The document provides an assessment of the economy and key indicators for 2025–26, along with an outlook for the next financial year.

According to the survey, India’s economy is projected to grow between 6.8 percent and 7.2 percent in FY27, underscoring resilience even as global economic uncertainty persists. The survey flagged easing inflation, improved health of the banking sector, strong external buffers and a recovery in manufacturing as key factors supporting the growth outlook.
