With promising polls indicating a favorable outcome, efforts to strengthen trade relations and drive economic growth take center stage in India's agenda.
Outlined in a comprehensive five-year plan, the Indian government is preparing to launch a 100-day action plan aimed at enhancing the country's integration into global trade. Among the key objectives of this plan is the finalization of trade deals with Britain and Oman, both of which are in advanced stages of negotiation, sources familiar with the matter revealed anonymously.
Recent discussions with senior officials have underscored the imperative of bolstering India's participation in global trade. While details of the plan remain confidential, documents obtained by Reuters suggest a strong focus on trade as a strategic priority for India.
As India approaches upcoming elections, discussions on trade objectives are expected to intensify. The Indian trade ministry, in coordination with key decision-makers, is responsible for finalizing the priorities for the 100-day action plan.
