On January 29, 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Economic Survey 2025-26 in the Lok Sabha, a key annual document that reviews the country’s economic performance over the past year and lays out analytical perspectives ahead of the Union Budget. The Survey assesses macroeconomic trends, fiscal health, sector performance, and future challenges.
This year’s Economic Survey highlighted India’s resilient growth trajectory despite global headwinds, with particular emphasis on expanding manufacturing, services, and digital economy segments. It also underscored ongoing demographic shifts and structural reforms that are expected to shape economic policymaking in 2026-27.
The document typically informs Budget decisions on taxation, subsidies, social sector spending, and long-term vision goals such as inclusive growth and sustainable development. Analysts and economists will closely study the Survey’s findings to anticipate the Budget 2026-27, scheduled for presentation on February 1, 2026.
