New Delhi, India – On February 1, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government will present its last budget for a full financial year before he, and his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), face elections in the first half of 2024 and he seeks a mandate to govern the country for the third consecutive time.
Modi’s government will have to provide for economic growth and a wider social welfare package at a time when global economic headwinds and domestic economic factors make it tough for India to do any better.
