India's GDP to grow at 6.5%-7% in 2024-25: Economic Survey

India's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to growth at 6.5% to 7% in the financial year 2024-25 (FY25), according to Economic Survey 2023-24 tabled in Parliament on Monday.

The growth projected for the current fiscal is lower than the 8.2% GDP growth rate estimated for FY24. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has projected the GDP growth for the year ending March 31, 2025 at 7.2%.

Global agencies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) see India grow at 7 per cent.

"...the Survey conservatively projects a real GDP growth of 6.5–7%, with risks evenly balanced, cognizant of the fact that the market expectations are on the higher side," said the document tabled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament.
