India continues to experience a climate of pioneering and optimism. With the “Make in India” campaign, the Indian government wishes to attract foreign investors to the country and create an upturn in the Indian economy. The country is rapidly opening up its markets to foreign investors, offering them attractive conditions and subsidy programs. Combined with a campaign to simplify its bureaucracy, the largest democracy in the world is facilitating market entry for European investors.
With more than 1.2 billion people, India is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. The country offers an incredible range of possibilities, but is also faced with difficult challenges. The growth of the Indian economy has enabled an increasing number of Indian companies to invest in Europe for purposes of their own diversification and sustainable growth. Germany, with a recorded trade volume of EUR 16.1 billion, is one of India's most important EU trading partners and an attractive target country. Indian investors are warmly welcomed in Germany.
