Economic Survey 2026 Live Updates: Ahead of the Union Budget 2026-27, Sitharaman will table the Economic Survey 2025-26 in Parliament today, January 29. The Survey will offer a detailed assessment of the state
of the Indian economy, including trends in growth, inflation, fiscal health, employment, credit, trade and the external sector, and is expected to set the tone for policy priorities in the Budget.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present her ninth consecutive Union Budget on February 1, continuing the practice followed since 2017 of unveiling the Budget at 11 am on February 1.
Some tax experts believe the government could eventually phase out the old tax regime, given its sustained push to make the new regime the default, though there has been no official indication that such a move is planned in Budget 2026.
