Economic Survey prediction:

On July 4, changing the focus of the Modi government 2.0 from FDA to the private sector, the Economic Survey, prepared by CEA Krishnamurthy Subramanian had suggested that to achieve the aim of becoming a $5 trillion economy, a GDP growth rate of 8% must be maintained.

The survey in its headline projection had pegged India's GDP growth for the ongoing 2019-20 fiscal at 7.0%, alongside a number of other key macro statistics and forecasts.
As mentioned above, the Economic Survey was tabled, first in the Rajya Sabha, and projects that GDP growth for the ongoing fiscal will rise to 7.0% versus 6.8% in the fiscal that just ended, meaning that India would remain the fastest-growing major economy in the world. It also termed the macroeconomic condition as 'stable' for the same period, holding that structural reforms of the last few years are continuing to enable growth.
