Budget 2026: Actual economic growth often exceeds Economic Survey`s projections

Budget 2026: Actual economic growth often exceeds Economic Survey`s projections

Published by Webster

India`s economic growth has often exceeded the projections made in the Economic Survey, with 2025-26 expecting to record 7.4 per cent growth as against the 6.3-6.8 per cent projection made in the pre-Budget document. The GDP growth in 2023-24 worked out to be 9.2 per cent as against the Survey`s projection of 6-6.8 per cent. However, in 2024-25, economic growth was 6.5 per cent, in line with the projection of 6.5-7 per cent. The analysis indicates that the target was missed in 2022-23, when the actual economic growth was 7.6 per cent as against the Economic Survey`s projection of 8-8.5 per cent. In 2021-22, due to Covid, the Economic Survey did not make any projection, but the growth worked out to be 9.7 per cent, mainly because of the base effect. The growth in 2020-21 was negative at 5.8 per cent, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2026 on February 1. Presented just ahead of the Budget, the survey sets the …

US B1/B2 visa wait time exceeds 1 year for Indians: Report | Latest News India

Published by Parlour News

Despite the US fully resuming visa operations, demand for tourist and business (B1/B2) visas continues to far exceed available appointment slots, creating major backlogs across US consulates in India. While general applicants face year-long waits, limited priority slots are mainly allocated to emergency cases and student visa categories. (Pic used for representation) According to an Aviation News report, wait times have hit critical levels, stretching from 7.5 to 13.5 months in Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai. Chennai has the longest delay, at 13.5 months, causing many to miss urgent events. These prolonged delays are disrupting travel for family functions, weddings, business events, and even emergencies. Priority appointments remain limited, offering little relief even in urgent cases. The report quoted a homemaker trying to travel to New York for a wedding, who said the earliest available slot was only in March next year, well after the event. The situation is similar in Delhi and Mumbai, where wait times have exceeded nine months, making timely access to B1/B2 visa appointments increasingly difficult for applicants nationwide.
