As the general election in India approaches, businesses and foreign investors are eager to know what the future holds for the country. Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party is currently on track to win a third consecutive five-year term in office. The prime minister’s outgoing government is already discussing an agenda for the first 100 days of his third term, indicating their confidence in victory.
If re-elected with a stronger mandate, what will be the new government’s priorities? What do businesses and foreign investors want to see from India? While India is often touted as an alternative to China, its inward FDI falls short of Modi’s aim to “Make in India” and transform the country into a premier manufacturing nation. Why is that, and what would improve India’s attractiveness as a place to do business?
