In the present situation, not only India but the UK is also going to have a keen interest in the results of Indian elections. Reasons are simple and the most important is the race of saving one’s position in the country.
The UK is not the leading investor in India anymore. Japan has taken over that position now. But things are not over yet, you can win back what is lost at some point. India is a very important business destination for the UK and there are many UK companies investing in the country and same is the case in the UK by sea and air cargo.
There are more foreign and especially Indian workers situated in Britain than the local ones. Indian companies are successfully becoming a part of the UK economy for many years. To be of mutual advantage for each other it is necessary to have a leader to decide a plan for future trade.
Especially when the UK is in a troubling situation India is seen as a prominent country which can be a great help to make things stable again if a hard Brexit happens. But this does not mean that achieving trade goals is easy for this region.
In many areas, India and UK trade have become vital for each other but always in the limelight. There are ever rising trade figures among the two and UK high-quality products are welcomed happily in India.
Doing business is complicated in India due to vast cultures and difficulties in introducing a new product. There has to be a favourable government to help out the foreign investors otherwise this task is hard to achieve.
Elections will decide which government to rule and accordingly, policies can be reshaped. To keep things going steady and trade be of mutual advantage UK and India has to maintain healthy trade relation.
The new government is going to take part in reaching a final free trade agreement. It is going to frame either a new plan or follow the old one. After the Brexit situation gets clear there are going to be talks on the matter.
The new government, whether it is of Modi or any other the points of agreement, will slightly or wholly change according to it. Also, the nature of the ruling party will count a lot in this respect. And after all, India is a successful trade entity who would not be interested in its general elections.
The citizens of India shifted to the UK for work or other reasons are not allowed to vote in the general election of India. So they try otherwise to influence the election mostly by their opinion or capital help. They worship the one chosen to form government in India and hence influence the policies at large.
With such a large population residing in your country, its interests automatically attract attention. Also, the Indian companies working in the UK abide by what their head offices in India ask them to do according to Indian government policy. So everything is interlinked if seen closely.
