India at the ballot box
FT journalists and expert guests gathered for a discussion on what business can expect from India's upcoming general election.
Narendra Modi's BJP is on track to win a third consecutive five-year term in office. If he succeeds, this will mark an unusual period of continuity by the standards of India's turbulent politics. Modi's outgoing government is confident enough of victory that it is already discussing an agenda for the first 100 days of his third term. What might this bring for business and the economy? If re-elected with a stronger mandate, what will the new government's priorities be? What do business and foreign investors want to see? India is touted as an alternative to China, but 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?
