In a social media post on Friday, Mahindra said, "This Economic Survey breaks new ground by blending a bold, optimistic vision for the future with a realistic assessment of the economy's vulnerabilities". The Economic Survey noted that every Indian city with a population above 1 million should be required to prepare a 20-year City Spatial and Economic Plan, updated every five years. Economic survey said that "our cities have not been equipped with the institutional, fiscal, and planning foundations commensurate with their role in national prosperity. The economic survey outlined that tackling these issues requires an integrated approach. Mahindra added that cities which prioritise liveability are more likely to attract and retain talent, encourage creativity and sustain growth over time.
