The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to India capped mounting efforts to recalibrate bilateral relations. The Globe's guest columnist Sanjay Ruparelia writes that a large delegation of cabinet ministers and business executives aimed to seize economic opportunities and deepen strategic ties, hoping to finalize a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement within a year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised millions of good jobs through rapid industrialization when he won office in 2014. Multinational companies, led by Apple and Foxconn, opened new plants. Yet the government's Make in India campaign has faltered. Investment is sluggish. Employment and manufacturing flatlined over the last decade. Higher tariffs and regulatory barriers raised the cost of inputs, discouraged foreign companies seeking to diversify their supply chains and favoured domestic conglomerates. The punitive levies imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump last summer hit labour-intensive sectors hard. In response, recent budgets harmonized taxes, cut rates and rationalized labour codes. In January, India finalized a trade agreement with the European Union, almost 20 years after negotiations began.
