Overseas Funds Renew Interest in Indian Stocks Amid Promising Growth Outlook

Global investors are channeling substantial funds into Indian equities, reflecting renewed confidence in the country’s financial markets after a period of election-related uncertainty. Recent data compiled by Bloomberg indicates that net foreign investments in India reached $8.5 billion this quarter, the highest since mid-2023, suggesting a strong resurgence of overseas interest.

Market analysts attribute this revival to renewed optimism about India’s economic policies, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s re-election for a third term. The consistency in policy direction, coupled with India’s growing significance in global market indices where it now surpasses China, has strengthened investor sentiment. Additionally, the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cuts have further enhanced the appeal of Indian markets.

India is one of the fastest urbanizing nations in the history of the world. While 28.53% of India was living in urban areas in 2001, by 2011 this figure had gone up to 31.16%. The population of Bangalore has increased from 1.7 million in 1971 to 8.5 million in 2011. Many of the migrants who settle in slums in Bangalore are from rural Karnataka or from other states who have been driven out of their villages due to drought or poverty. A majority of these belong to castes placed lower down in the social hierarchy ordained by the caste system in India. These processes of ‘long transition’ (agrarian to industrial; rural to urban) have been fast forwarded in India in a context of neo-liberal policies where State takes less and less responsibility for the well-being of the citizen.

Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide: The Key to India’s Future

India stands at a critical crossroads. As one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, it’s often hailed as a rising global power. However, a glaring paradox persists within the country’s development narrative—the stark divide between rural and urban India. While cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are witnessing rapid modernization, millions of people in rural India continue to struggle with basic amenities, education, and healthcare.

The gap between urban and rural India isn't just economic; it is social, cultural, and infrastructural. Rural India, which houses around 68% of India’s population, is often left behind in the race towards development. This gap is not only a challenge but also a key obstacle to India’s aspirations of becoming a developed nation. Without bridging this divide, India’s economic ambitions will remain incomplete....see more

Empowering India: A Detailed Overview of the Union Budget 2024-25

The Union Budget 2024-25 presented by the Indian government marks a significant step towards realizing the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. With an ambitious theme of empowerment and inclusivity, the budget outlines a comprehensive roadmap for sustainable economic development, addressing key areas like agriculture, manufacturing, MSMEs, energy, and infrastructure.

Economic Overview and Fiscal Health

The budget estimates a fiscal deficit of 4.9% of GDP, aiming to reduce it below 4.5% by the next year. With low and stable inflation, moving towards a 4% target, the economic environment is conducive to growth. The capital expenditure outlay remains at 3.4% of GDP, consistent with the Interim Budget 2024. The focus is maintaining macroeconomic stability while fostering growth and development across various sectors.

Key Direct Tax Proposals

Direct tax proposals in the budget are designed to reduce the compliance burden and promote entrepreneurial spirit. Highlights include the rationalization of capital gains tax, abolition of angel tax for all investors, and a reduction in the corporate tax rate for foreign companies from 40% to 35%. The standard deduction for salaried employees is increased from INR 50,000 to INR 75,000, further simplifying the new tax regime.

Indirect Tax Proposals

Indirect tax proposals focus on simplifying the customs duty structure, removing duty inversion, and reducing disputes. Exemptions in customs duty are proposed for critical sectors such as cancer medicines, mobile industry, marine exports, and energy transition, aiming to enhance competitiveness and support strategic sectors.

Sectoral Focus and MSMEs

The budget places special emphasis on MSMEs and labour-intensive manufacturing, aiming to boost financing, regulatory changes, and technology support. Initiatives include the Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs, new assessment models, and voluntary closure of LLPs. The focus on MSMEs is pivotal for generating employment and enhancing the sector’s global competitiveness.

Infrastructure and Urban Development

Infrastructure development is a cornerstone of the budget, with a provision of USD 1.35 trillion, constituting 3.4% of GDP. Significant investments are planned for rural connectivity, urban development, water management, and housing. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 aims to address the housing needs of 10 million urban poor and middle-class families with an investment of USD 121.95 billion.

Energy Security and Innovation

Energy security is another critical area, with initiatives such as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojna providing free electricity to 10 million households. The budget also emphasizes innovation and research, with operationalizing the Anusandhan National Research Fund and private sector-driven research initiatives.

Trade and Global Investment

The budget aims to promote trade and create an enabling environment for business by simplifying rules for foreign direct investment and overseas investments. The strategic focus is on attracting global investments while nurturing indigenous entrepreneurship, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and job creation.

Conclusion

The Union Budget 2024-25 is a comprehensive plan designed to propel India towards sustainable and inclusive economic development. With a clear focus on key sectors and strategic initiatives, the budget lays down a robust framework for achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047, positioning India as a strong and resilient economy on the global stage.

Tuesday, October 22, 2024 - Tim Walz

The Governor met up with Secretary Buttigieg, Former Mayoral Candidate India Walton, and Congressional Candidate for NY23 Tom Carle for a day of campaigning in Western New York and the Southern Tier. This is a region we think is a major opportunity for democrats to invest in. The region is a mix of suburban and rural that has strong ties to art, education, and manufacturing, which we believe gives us the opportunity to grow our reputation.

Orchard Park, PA Event Location: Village of Orchard Park Event Type: Door Knocking Event Time: 8:00 - 11:00 ET *The campaign kicked off a day of campaigning in Western NY and the Southern Tier. This region of the state is heavily ignored and it is time that we put that to an end. Americans across this country deserve to have their voices heard and our campaign is continuing to make sure that is known. We will represent all Americans, even those who do not agree with us. When meeting with voters, we also shared the Harris-Walz view on the NYS ballot measure, which you can find below.

Fredonia, NY Event Location: Steele Hall at SUNY Fredonia Event Type: Campaign Rally Event Time: 13:00 - 16:00 ET *Full-text of this speech will be released shortly.

Jamestown, NY Event Location: Jamestown, Jamestown West, and Celoron Event Type: Door Knocking Event Time: 18:00 - 21:00 ET *The campaign wrapped up the day in New York State by doing an evening of door knocking in Jamestown and Celoron. When meeting with voters, we also shared the Harris-Walz view on the NYS ballot measure, which you can find below.

New York Proposal 1 Vote: Yes Reason: This measure ensures that New York’s Bill of Rights truly protects everyone, regardless of ethnicity, gender, disability, or reproductive choices. Voting yes supports vital protections for women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and all New Yorkers’ right to equality and autonomy, such as abortion.
