Bhubaneswar: The Economic Survey 2025–26 was tabled in Parliament on Friday, presenting a comprehensive review of India’s economic performance over the past year and outlining priorities for the road ahead. Against a backdrop of global geopolitical fragmentation and economic uncertainty, the Survey described India as a resilient and stable bright spot in the world economy.
According to the First Advance Estimates, India’s real GDP growth is projected at 7.4 per cent in FY 2025–26, reaffirming the country’s position as the fastest-growing major economy for the fourth consecutive year. The Survey noted that strong domestic demand, public investment, and macroeconomic stability have helped India sustain growth despite global headwinds.
The Survey highlighted that India’s macroeconomic fundamentals have strengthened significantly, with improved fiscal management, a resilient financial sector, and controlled inflation supporting long-term growth. It also pointed out that India’s potential GDP growth has risen to around 7 per cent, reflecting gains from structural reforms and enhanced productivity.
Emphasising the policy direction under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Survey said India has successfully navigated global challenges and positioned itself on a high-growth, sustainable development path, reinforcing confidence in the country’s medium-term economic outlook.
