India General Election 2019 – What would a second Modi term mean for business?
Modi’s government has introduced India to broader trade, and deeper investment relationships. From a UK collaborative perspective, Modi’s reform programme has paved the way for an ever increasing number of investment opportunities in India. However, what the future holds is uncertain. If Modi wins another term in power, India can probably expect an upward trajectory in terms of trade and a consistently high FDI rate.
The UK India Business Council is holding an exclusive seminar to discuss what a second Modi term would mean for business.
While the 2019 elections are still a distant thought for most, campaigning is already underway, with Modi and the BJP hoping to hold on to their electoral majority for a second term. While pundits have been claiming that Modi’s popularity has been waning, as some of the promises made in the run up to the 2014 election have gone out of reach, the polls still suggest he is on course to securing another term in 2019. Of course, anything could happen between now and the election, but it is likely that the current government will stay in power until 2024.
Attendees to this seminar will learn more about how the Indian economy and business environment would change over the next 5 years if Modi were to be re-elected, taking a more long-term view of the potential of the Indian economy. Attendees will also hear from industry experts about their views on what to expect from a second Modi term.
