The Economic Survey is a comprehensive document that includes Volume I, Volume II, and a statistical appendix. It is compiled annually by the Economics Division of the Department of Economic Affairs under the Finance Ministry. The survey examines India's economic trajectory, focusing on sectors such as manufacturing, services, and trade balance. It also analyzes global macroeconomic trends and significant international political and economic developments.
The Economic Survey has been an essential part of India's economic planning since 1950-51. Initially presented alongside the Union Budget, it was separated and presented a day before the budget since 1964. This document is critical as it reviews economic developments over the past financial year,
