Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman takes center stage Thursday to present the Economic Survey 2026 in Parliament, just ahead of the Union Budget 2026-27 on February 1. This report will gauge how India’s economy weathers worldwide uncertainties.
Primary attention locks onto projected GDP growth for FY25-26 and FY26-27, metrics that could redefine fiscal strategies and investor confidence.
The Survey, a pre-budget mainstay, offers a panoramic view of economic vitality, growth pace, and horizon-scanning estimates. CEA V. Anant Nageswaran’s recent op-ed touched on rupee vulnerabilities, global tensions, and sundry economic facets.
It builds on Wednesday’s Budget Session launch via President Droupadi Murmu’s joint address. Positioning 2026 as a keystone for Developed India, she spotlighted transformative gains over 25 years and a decade of sector-deepening that fuels optimism.
PM Modi commended the oration’s breadth and foresight, capturing the shared pursuit of Atmanirbhar Bharat with a blend of past triumphs and future blueprints.
India’s robust preparations position it for dynamic growth. As the Survey emerges today and Budget looms, expect revelations that steer the economy through challenges toward prosperity.
