18 Apr 2025 CW Team

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday announced the launch of a survey aimed at assessing the business outlook for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26 (Q1FY26) from selected companies in the services and infrastructure sectors.

Titled the Quarterly Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey, this is the 44th round conducted by the central bank. The survey is designed to capture industry sentiment on key indicators such as demand conditions, financial health, employment trends, and the pricing environment.

In the latest round, 879 companies shared their assessments for the fourth quarter of FY2024-25 (Q4FY25) and provided expectations for Q1FY26. They also offered an outlook on major business parameters for the two quarters following Q1FY26.

The survey findings are expected to play a key role in informing policy decisions and understanding evolving trends in the services and infrastructure sectors—two vital pillars of India’s economic engine, which collectively contribute over 60% to the country’s GDP.

By collecting forward-looking insights from industry stakeholders, the RBI aims to strengthen its macroeconomic assessments and enhance its ability to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities in these sectors.
