The Economic Survey predicts India’s GDP growth at 6.8-7.2% for FY27, citing strong domestic demand despite global risks.
On 29 January 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Economic Survey 2025-26 to Parliament, forecasting a national production increase of between 6.8 percent and 7.2 percent for the upcoming financial year. This projection indicates a slight moderation from the 7.4 percent growth anticipated for the current period ending in March.
The official document describes the nation’s financial trajectory as stable yet cautious, highlighting that internal consumer demand remains the primary engine of progress. While international market volatility and shifting trade policies present external challenges, domestic economic foundations are reportedly resilient.
Key observations from the report indicate that inflation remains under control and the banking sector has strengthened. This data serves as the foundation for the upcoming national financial plan, which the Finance Minister is scheduled to deliver on 1 February 2026. The legislative schedule confirms that these discussions will continue through a series of sessions concluding on 2 April 2026.
