    2018-12-31T12:00:37+00:00September 19th, 2017|2018/2017, India Investment Journal September Edition, State Focus: Karnataka, Year|

    With its tremendous untapped potential, Karnataka is an appealing locus for French companies. France and India have always been very close. The ties between our two countries have nevertheless been strengthened over the years: whether it be culture, defence, the economy, education, politics or science, our relationship has now grown into a full-scale partnership. While our bilateral trade in goods is expected to come near the $10 billion mark this year (€8.6 billion in 2016), it bears reminding that our [...]

The badges they wear read like a veritable who’s who of the international auto industry and include such marquee names as Toyota, [...]

        The Indian PM has spelt out his vision for a New India ahead of the next General Election in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has, in past Independence Day addresses to the nation, announced grand flagship schemes that promise to transform India. So, one was expecting more of the same this year. Instead, the Prime Minister announced a vision – of a New India, that he urged all Indians to work towards, by 2022. He outlined the broad contours [...]

          Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s programme to make India a major global manufacturing hub is likely to start showing results when the $68-billion of investments committed on the ground start coming on stream over the next couple of years. Critics complain that the glass is half empty. The Prime Minister’s Make in India initiative has not led to any increase in the share of manufacturing in the country’s GDP and has not generated the huge number of jobs it was expected [...]

              India-Israel: Past tense, future perfect

              When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Israel in July, not only will he be bringing the otherwise warm relationship between the two countries out of the closet, he will also be marking the 25th anniversary of the establishment of formal and full-fledged diplomatic relations between the two countries. Modi’s visit, the first by an Indian Prime Minister to Israel, also marks the decisive de-hyphening of the relationship with India’s traditional support for the Palestine cause. Modi will not be [...]

                In defence of a strategic Make in India policy

                2019-01-02T07:28:07+00:00May 26th, 2017|2018/2017, India Investment Journal May Edition, Last Word, Year|

                The Strategic Partnership Policy (SPP) could throw open deals worth over $20bn to six selected private sector companies in India. India’s defence forces will get their first fighter jets, submarines, helicopters and armoured vehicles made in India by the private sector within a few years. And it is entirely probable that friendly foreign countries could also be using some of these Made in India weapon systems. In a major boost to private sector participation in offensive defence platforms, the defence [...]

                    The changing profile of FDI: Putting money where the mouth is

                    2019-01-02T07:32:02+00:00May 26th, 2017|2018/2017, India Investment Journal May Edition, The Big Story, Year|

                    Make in India, one of the flagship initiatives launched under Prime Minister Modi, has led to a step change in FDI inflows, writes an investment facilitator. The total FDI inflows into India stood at $60.1 billion in 2016-17 — the highest ever in a single year. Compared to 2013-14, this represents a 75 per cent increase. India’s achievement is even more stark when compared to falling global FDI flows as highlighted by UNCTAD. More importantly, Make in India has enabled [...]

                      ‘India Global Business’ analyses UK-India relations and identifies key areas of cooperation that the two countries must build upon and key areas of divergence that they must bridge in order to fulfil the potential of the relationship. The potential of the relationship is massive, but India and the UK are barely scratching the surface. The optimism that the two countries would sign a trade deal in the immediate aftermath of Brexit and signal closer all round ties has waned considerably [...]
