India’s Union Budget 2019: Impact on Foreign Companies

On July 30, Rohit Kapur, Dezan Shira & Associates’ India Managing Director will discuss the impact of India’s Union Budget 2019 on foreign investors and multinational companies.

Earlier this month, on July 5, India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her maiden Union budget with plans to turn India into a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024. This budget represents government’s intention to focus on holistic development of both urban as well as rural India.

The Modi government has returned to power on the promise of addressing rural distress, boosting manufacturing and generating employment with a view to revive the economy and setting it on a high growth path.

The government recognizes that these objectives cannot be met without a significant contribution of foreign investment in infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. A number of initiatives and policy reforms have been announced to make India an attractive investment destination for foreign investors.

Join us in this webinar to decode the key budget announcements and their implications on foreign companies. Rohit’s presentation will cover the following topics:

• Economic outlook
