Govt Economic Survey expects India to grow at 6.3 to 6.8 per cent for 2025-26

The Economic Survey tabled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament on Friday pegs India’s real GDP growth in 2025-26 between 6.3 and 6.8 per cent, “keeping in mind the upsides and downsides to growth”.

The Survey expects the government’s emphasis on micro, small, and



medium enterprises (MSMEs) and good rabi crop production to accelerate growth and employment in the economy.

Looking ahead, India’s economic prospects for FY26 are balanced. Headwinds to growth include elevated geopolitical and trade uncertainties and possible commodity price shocks.
