Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday tabled the Economic Survey 2020 in Parliament.
The Economic Survey projected India’s economic growth at 6 per cent to 6.5 per cent in the next financial year starting April 1, saying growth has bottomed out.
Survey also said intervention by the government, though well-intended, often ends up undermining the ability of markets to create wealth and leads to outcomes that are the opposite of the intentions.

The government has also estimated GDP expansion at 5 per cent for the current financial year ending on March 31.
