SPOTLIGHT ON: INDIA
Boasting an impressive GDP growth rate of seven per cent and amid continued talk of a post- Brexit free trade agreement, India offers significant opportunities for ambitious East Midlands companies seeking to develop new overseas markets. With a population of 1.2 billion
people, of which the median age is 26.7, India is undoubtedly a young country benefiting from a growing domestic demand, where consumption is driving the expansion of a middle class.
‘UK companies are the third-largest investors in India, being responsible for one in 20 formal sector jobs’
By 2025, India is expected to become the world’s fifth-largest consumer, highlighting the insatiable demand for goods and services from around the world. As the largest English-speaking population in the world, and with a familiarity of British culture stemming from a close history, UK goods and services enjoy a positive perception to many Indian consumers. East Midlands exports of goods
to India have risen consistently in recent years, totalling £190m in 2016, with almost two-thirds coming from the sectors of transport and machinery equipment. The region also imported £450m worth of goods from India in 2016, creating a trading relationship worth more than £640m.

Government and private sector investment in infrastructure has transformed the Indian road network, keeping pace with a ten per cent annual growth rate in the number of road vehicles observed in recent years. India’s road network, spread
across approximately 4.7m kilometres, facilitates 85% of passenger traffic and 60% of freight traffic. While renowned for a world-famous rail network, roads provide the modern links that keep the Indian economy growing. With FDI and capital grants
sustaining investment in infrastructure, significant opportunities exist for East Midlands companies in the construction and automotive sectors to apply their world-class expertise. Selling in to the Indian market
