The Economic Survey has projected India's GDP growth in the range of 6.8% to 7.2% for the fiscal year 2026-27, slightly lower than the 7.4% estimate for the current year.

The document, presented in the Lok Sabha ahead of the Budget, highlights a steady growth outlook amid global economic uncertainty, advocating caution but steering clear of pessimism.
