Welcome to the 2025 edition of An Introduction to Doing Business in India. As India solidifies its position as a global economic powerhouse and prepares to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, this guide provides indispensable insights for businesses navigating this vibrant market.

India’s GDP growth for 2025-26 is projected at 7 percent, with the economy set to reach approximately US$5.3 trillion by 2027. Despite global challenges, India has maintained economic stability. The 2024 general elections secured the National Democratic Alliance’s third consecutive term, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reinforcing policy continuity and strengthening investor confidence.

India has renewed its focus on strategic global partnerships, particularly with Middle Eastern and European markets, and continues to position itself as a critical link in global supply chains. Advancements in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, supported by global investments and technology transfers, are accelerating India’s progress toward sustainable development goals and its integration into the global industrial value chain.
