RBI Begins 50th Round of Services & Infrastructure Outlook Survey for Q2 FY 2026-27

The Reserve Bank of India has launched the 50th round of its quarterly Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey for the reference period July–September 2026. The survey is aimed at assessing business conditions and future expectations across India’s services and infrastructure sectors.

The latest round covers the current quarter, Q2 of financial year 2026-27, and seeks qualitative inputs from selected companies on key business indicators. These include demand conditions, financial position, employment trends and price-related expectations.

In addition to the assessment for the current quarter, the survey also records business expectations for the next quarter, Q3 of FY 2026-27. The outlook on important business parameters for the following two quarters, Q4 of FY 2026-27 and Q1 of FY 2027-28, is also included in the survey framework.

For the July–September 2026 round, the Reserve Bank has authorised Genesis Management & Market Research Pvt. Ltd. to conduct the survey on its behalf. The RBI publishes the survey findings in summary form on its official website on a regular basis. The identity of participating companies is not disclosed.

Apart from selected entities, other companies operating in the services and infrastructure sectors may also participate in the survey. Such companies can download the questionnaire from the RBI website and submit their responses electronically.

The Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey forms part of the RBI’s regular data collection exercise to monitor sectoral trends, business sentiment and economic expectations in important segments of the economy.
