January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North
January 18, 2017 Shri Arun Jaitley Union Finance Minister 134, North Block, Ministry of Finance New Delhi – 110001 Subject: Consideration of ICT Duties in Budget Season Dear Honorable Minister: As the 2017 budget season approaches, India’s political leadership will make decisions on import duties that have an important impact on the nation’s business climate. Against this backdrop, our members, representing the most innovative information and communications technology (ICT) companies in the world, would like to highlight the value of a stable and predictable tariff regime. While many countries around the world continue to lower import duties on ICT products, India has in recent years raised duties multiple times on a wide array of ICT items. These actions undermine business confidence on two counts. Not only do higher duties make it more expensive to manufacture and sell products, but the unexpected imposition of new fees creates a destabilizing sense of uncertainty. Companies find it harder to plan for the future when faced with the prospect that operating costs could rise unexpectedly. This makes it difficult to justify expanded investments in facilities and staff. For example, last year’s unexpected increase in ICT customs duties raised input costs by up to 10 percent for many technology suppliers. The fee increase followed an earlier unexpected round of duty hikes on ICT products in 2014, including on Information Technology Agreement products. While we applaud the government’s decision to repeal some of the 2016 levies, many ICT duties remain in effect. In short, our members have major concerns over the future direction of tariffs, when they will change, and how those changes will impact their ability to invest in India.

India Economic News November 2018 Final.Docx
December 2018 Dear Friends, As 2018 draws to a close and we all start the holiday season, I am happy to bring to you this last issue of “India Economic News” for this year. We have been trying to expand our engagement with the Dutch Caribbean. The Hon’ble Prime Minister Eugene Rhuggenaath of Curaçao, a person of Indian origin, recently visited the Netherlands in November. I met with the Hon’ble Prime Minister and we also utilized his visit to introduce leading Indian companies in the Netherlands - HCL, TCS and Sun Pharma to him. The companies briefed him about their global operations. Hon'ble Prime Minister in turn informed them about opportunities for investment in Curacao and invited them to visit Curacao to explore business opportunities. We can look back on the year 2018 as a highly fulfilling year in terms of bilateral economic interactions. To recap, the highlights of the year were: A Seminar on Prospects for Indo-Dutch Cooperation in the area of Science & Technology on March 26 at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. The English version of the AWTI Advisory Letter on Dutch-Indian Collaboration in Science, Technology and Innovation was released at the event. The historical visit of Prime Minister Mark Rutte to India on May 24 this year, accompanied by four Cabinet Ministers as well as the Mayor of The Hague and a delegation of more than 130 companies, the largest ever trade delegations to visit India. Briefing session prior to the visit and a de-briefing session post the visit was organized for the Trade Delegation by the Embassy.

India's 2019 National Election and Implications for U.S. Interests
India’s 2019 National Election and Implications for U.S. Interests June 28, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45807 SUMMARY R45807 India’s 2019 National Election and Implications June 28, 2019 for U.S. Interests K. Alan Kronstadt India, a federal republic and the world’s most populous democracy, held elections to seat a new Specialist in South Asian lower house of parliament in April and May of 2019. Estimates suggest that more than two-thirds Affairs of the country’s nearly 900 million eligible voters participated. The 545-seat Lok Sabha (People’s House) is seated every five years, and the results saw a return to power of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was chief minister of the west Indian state of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014. Modi’s party won decisively—it now holds 56% of Lok Sabha seats and Modi became the first Indian leader to win consecutive majorities since Indira Gandhi in 1971. The United States and India have been pursuing an expansive strategic partnership since 2005. The Trump Administration and many in the U.S. Congress welcomed Modi’s return to power for another five-year term. Successive U.S. Presidents have deemed India’s growing power and influence a boon to U.S. interests in Asia and globally, not least in the context of balancing against China’s increasing assertiveness. India is often called a preeminent actor in the Trump Administration’s strategy for a “free and open Indo-Pacific.” Yet there are potential stumbling blocks to continued development of the partnership.
