Finance Ministry Economic Survey 2017-18 has predicted the growth rate of 7 to 7.5 per cent in the Gross Domestic Product in 2018-19. The Survey was tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament today. It says that a series of major reforms undertaken over the past year will allow real GDP growth to reach 6.75 percent this fiscal and will rise to 7.0 to 7.5 per cent in 2018-19.

Finance Ministry Agriculture is expected to grow at the rate of 2.1 per cent, industry at 4.4 per cent, and services sector at 8.3 per cent in 2017-18. The survey also adds that after remaining in negative territory for a couple of years, growth of exports rebounded into positive one during 2016-17 and is expected to grow faster in the current fiscal. It said, with world growth likely to witness moderate improvement in 2018, expectation of greater stability in GST, likely recovery in investment levels, and ongoing structural reforms, among others, should be supporting higher growth.
Finance Ministry It said, post introduction of GST regime, there has been a 50 per cent increase in the number of indirect taxpayers. It said, India must continue improving the climate for rapid economic growth on the strength of the only two truly sustainable engines-private investment and exports. "The Survey is optimistic in its tone because of government s commitment to carry forward structural reforms like GST, deregulation measures, bank re-capitalization and resolution. It said government has undertaken a number of reforms to ensure that India remains an attractive investment destination. These reforms include National Intellectual Property Rights policy, GST implementation, and reforms for ease of doing business. The Survey also expressed concern over air pollution in Delhi with the onset of winter due to various factors and suggested coordination between agencies and Central and State Governments to address each source problem systematically. The pink cover of this year's Economic Survey was chosen as a symbol of support for ending violence against women. It recommended that India must confront the societal meta-preference for a son, and observed that the adverse sex ratio of females to males has led to 63 million 'missing' women.
Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Subramanian today said implementing GST and responding quickly to transitional challenges are among the major achievements of the government in the past year. Giving highlights of the Economic Survey, Mr Subramanian in a series of tweets said, there has been an increase in new tax filers of about 18 lakh and some boost to individual income tax collections post-demonetization and GST. The Chief Economic Adviser listed providing support to agriculture, stabilizing GST, privatizing Air-India among the policy agenda for the coming year. Mr Subramanian said, there are robust and broad-based signs of revival in economic activity.
Economic Advisory Council The Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister Dr. Bibek Debroy has said, the Economic Survey is a reflection of Government s commitment to growth and development. Highlighting the optimistic outlook of the economy reflected by the Economic Survey, he said, the emphasis on women s empowerment is a welcome step. Dr. Debroy endorsed the pick-up in growth highlighted in the Survey and was of the view that in 2018-19 the real GDP growth rate is likely to be closer to 7.5 per cent rather than 7 per cent.
NITI Aayog NITI Aayog Vice Chairman, Rajiv Kumar has said, the country's GDP growth is expected to be around 8 to 8.5 per cent in 2018-19 and what has been predicted by the Economic Survey is underestimate.
