The Economic Survey estimates India’s GDP growth at 7.4% for FY2025-26 and projects 6.8–7.2% for FY2026-27. Growth is driven by strong domestic consumption, improving manufacturing, and a resilient services sector. Global uncertainties, trade disruptions, and commodity price volatility flagged as risks.
💰 Impact on your wallet: A growing economy generally means more jobs and better salary hikes. The 6.8–7.2% projection for next year suggests continued but slightly slower momentum — salary hikes may moderate from 9–10% to 7–8%. Still healthy, but worth factoring into your financial planning.
