Economic Survey 2025-26 LIVE Updates: With the Economic Survey of India set to be tabled in Parliament later today, policymakers, investors and economists are bracing for the first official reading of the country’s economic health ahead of Union Budget 2026-27. Why the Economic Survey Takes Centre StagePrepared by the Economic Division of the Department of Economic Affairs under the supervision of the Chief Economic Adviser, the Economic Survey is the government’s most comprehensive annual review of the economy. It examines growth momentum, inflation trends, employment conditions, fiscal consolidation, trade performance and sectoral developments, often shaping expectations well before Budget numbers are revealed. With uneven global growth, volatile commodity prices and shifting financial conditions, this year’s Survey is expected to be closely scrutinised for its assessment of India’s resilience and medium-term growth outlook. A Long Budget Session AheadThe Budget Session will run for 30 sittings spread over 65 days, concluding on April 2.
