New Delhi, Jan. 29 -- India has shown strong resilience and absorptive capacity in the face of repeated global shocks, noted the Economic Survey 2025-26, presented in Parliament on Thursday.

However, the next phase of its development challenge is different: Moving from being primarily a recipient of stability to becoming a source of stability and opportunity for others, it said.

"This transition from resilience to interdependence is central to India's journey towards Viksit Bharat," said the annual survey, presented ahead of the Union budget. "It underscores that competitiveness, export capability, and deep integration into regional and global production networks are essential instruments of influence in a fragmented world."
