The<\/strong> Indian economy is projected to grow between 6.8% to 7.2% in FY 2027 <\/strong>(beginning 1 April, 2026), as per the Economic Survey<\/a> tabled in the Indian Parliament on Thursday. The GDP for the current fiscal year (FY26) is estimated at 7.4%. The survey is the \u201cstate of the union\u201d on macroeconomics written by the government\u2019s chief economic adviser and published ahead of the national budget. <\/p>\n
