Highlights - Economic Survey ahead of budget

Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s government forecast GDP growth of over 8 pct y/y in the 2015/16 fiscal year, a key economic report said on Friday.

The survey prepared by the finance ministry`s chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian on the state of Asia`s third-largest economy was released ahead of Saturday`s federal budget announcement for 2015/16 fiscal year that begins on April 1.

Following are the highlights of the survey:

* 2015/16 GDP growth seen at over 8 pct y/y

* Double digit economic growth trajectory now a possibility

* Govt remains committed to fiscal consolidation

* Inflation shows declining trend in 2014/15

* Overhauling of subsidy regime would pave the way for expenditure rationalisation
