The Indian economy is projected to grow between 6.8 and 7.2 percent in 2026–27, according to the Economic Survey 2025–26, which has also upgraded India’s potential growth rate to 7 percent, up from 6.5 percent estimated three years ago. Tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday, the Survey strikes an optimistic note at a time when the global economy is facing heightened trade uncertainty and the dampening effects of high tariffs on business confidence. Chief Economic Advisor Dr. Anantha Nageswaran, who authored the Survey along with officials from the Finance Ministry, has described India’s growth momentum as healthy and the overall outlook as favourable. Inflation remains largely under control, rainfall and agricultural prospects are supportive, and external liabilities are low. Banks are in strong health, liquidity conditions are comfortable, credit growth remains steady, corporate balance sheets are robust, and the overall flow of funds to the commercial sector continues to be resilient. The CEA has described India as an “oasis of economic performance” in the global landscape, emphasizing that the country’s external stability has been a key pillar supporting domestic economic strength and helping India stay relatively insulated from global volatility. At the same time, he has cautioned that the impact of global shocks could emerge with a lag, underscoring the need for continued policy vigilance. In the 799-page document, divided into 16 parts, the Survey argues that India’s challenge is not merely to design better policies, but to ensure that rules, incentives, and administrative responses actively strengthen national resilience. In this context, the CEA notes that India’s journey — from Swadeshi to strategic resilience, and eventually to strategic indispensability — will depend not only on how fast the economy grows, but on whether domestic capabilities become deeply embedded in global production systems in ways that enhance reliability, learning, and external stability. To discuss the pathways the Economic Survey outlines, and how India can turn global headwinds into tailwinds in pursuit of its economic ambitions
