Saturday, 31 January, 2026

The Survey pegs India’s potential growth at around 7%, flags a slight moderation in GDP growth next year, and lays out the government’s thinking on everything from inflation and exports to jobs, infrastructure, manufacturing, and welfare.But beyond the headline numbers, what really matters is how to read this document. Is India’s growth story holding up in a slowing global economy? What reforms are need to to make the government's 'Viksit Bharat 2047' vision a reality?
