India’s 2026 Economic Survey highlights urban growth challenges despite progress, urging reforms for livable, sustainable cities.
India’s 2026 Economic Survey reveals that while cities drive most of the country’s economic growth—projected to house 600 million people by 2036 and contribute nearly 70% of GDP—urban development remains hampered by weak governance, fragmented institutions, and insufficient fiscal autonomy.
Despite progress in infrastructure like metro networks, e-buses, and housing under PMAY-Urban, challenges persist in affordable housing, public transport, and service delivery due to outdated land-use rules, low FSI, and reliance on private vehicles.
The survey calls for 20-year city plans, performance-linked financing, municipal bond issuance, and reforms to unlock urban potential, urging a shift toward people-centric, integrated planning and stronger civic engagement to transform cities into livable, sustainable hubs.
