The Reserve Bank of India launched the 50th round of its Quarterly Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey (SIOS) for Q2 of 2026-27 on July 7, 2026. This survey aims to capture the current business sentiment and future expectations across the services and infrastructure sectors in India, providing key data for economic analysis and policy formulation, according to rbi.org.in.
The survey collects responses from a wide range of service and infrastructure companies across India, assessing parameters such as business activity, employment, capacity utilization, and input costs. The RBI conducts this quarterly exercise to monitor sectoral trends and gauge the outlook for the coming months. The data gathered helps in understanding sectoral performance and challenges, as detailed in the official press release from the Reserve Bank of India.
This survey is significant as it complements other industrial and economic surveys conducted by the RBI, offering a comprehensive view of India's economic health. The services sector contributes substantially to India's GDP, and infrastructure development remains a government priority. The insights from this survey assist policymakers and market participants in making informed decisions, aligning with the RBI's broader efforts to maintain economic stability and growth.
The RBI simultaneously launched the 115th round of its Quarterly Industrial Outlook Survey (IOS) for Q2:2026-27, further expanding its data collection on industrial performance. Both surveys are critical tools for tracking economic trends in India and are published on the RBI's official website for public and stakeholder reference.
