Navigating India’s Business Landscape: Priorities and Expectations for the Upcoming General Election

India’s upcoming elections: a look at business expectations

India is gearing up for its upcoming general election, and the Bharatiya Janata party, led by Narendra Modi, is expected to win a third consecutive five-year term. The outgoing government is already preparing an agenda for the first 100 days of Modi’s third term, confident in their chances of victory. If re-elected with a stronger mandate, what will the new government prioritize? What are the expectations of business and foreign investors?

What factors contribute to this gap, and what changes are needed to enhance India’s appeal for doing business?
