The National Democratic Alliance ( NDA ) has go forth victorious in India ’s 2024 general election , but with a smaller majority equate to 2019 . According to post - election analysis by Goldman Sachs , JPMorgan , CLSA , UBS , Bernstein and Citi , this slim authorisation may push the government — known for transform India into a globose manufacture powerhouse and make investments in sectors to melt off the country ’s reliance on Western nations — to embrace a more populist position in its third term , prioritizing the demand of lower - income segments and rural ontogeny .
The NDA ’s probable victory indicate policy continuity for concern and startups , with on-going investment in infrastructure , digitisation and fabrication .

India has also quickly positioned itself as a global fabrication hub in recent year , attracting company such as Apple , Samsung , and Google with remunerative incentives to transfer more of their assembling indigence to India . Goldman Sachs and Citi said that it is probable that India will cover to focus on manufacture , but its fiscal apportionment may be lower moving forward than expected .
