The Economic Survey 2025 was tabled in the Parliament on Friday, a day ahead of the presentation of Union Budget 2025. According to the Survey, India's GDP growth is estimated to be between 6.3% and 6.8% for the financial year 2026 -- a second straight year of sub-7% growth for the country.
The Survey highlighted that from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2024, the capital expenditure on major infrastructure sectors rose at a trend rate of 38.8% with roads, power, coal and mines leading the performance. However, the pace of capex by the government in the major infrastructure sectors was hit during the first quarter of FY25 owing to the general elections last year.
Among the key takeaways from the survey report was also the mention of benefits from the rapid advancements of artificial intelligence. However, it said that the country still needs to take a slew of measures to continue to benefit from the technology.
