Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has officially tabled the Economic Survey 2024-25 in Parliament today, providing a detailed assessment of India’s economic performance over the current fiscal year. The Survey outlines key achievements, ongoing challenges, and a forward-looking roadmap for sustained growth and reform.
Prepared by a team led by Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran, the Economic Survey also highlights potential areas for improvement while setting the foundation for the Union Budget to be presented on February 1, 2025.
The government expects India’s GDP growth to range between 6.3% and 6.8% for FY26, signaling a stable yet cautious outlook amid global economic uncertainties. The Survey emphasizes the importance of robust reforms, continued infrastructure investments, and policy support for rural and education sectors.
President Droupadi Murmu will address a joint session of Parliament today to mark the beginning of the Budget Session. This year’s Budget is expected to bring significant announcements on income tax, infrastructure funding, and targeted rural development programs.
The Economic Survey, a key precursor to the Budget, lays the foundation for important policy decisions and long-term growth strategies aimed at achieving inclusive and sustained development.
