Modi Government’s first month: A flying start with quick quality moves

Summary

As India's Modi Government completes its first month in office, we take stock of the changes observed in governance style, policy focus, the pace of project execution and the Center's thrust on strengthening India's trade and investment ties with other economies. The new government’s decisive victory in national elections last month rode a wave of anti-incumbency fervor and popular dissatisfaction over India’s flagging growth, high inflation, policy inaction, administrative bottlenecks and red tape. Amid high expectations, Mr. Modi and his team has hit the ground running with quick quality moves to boost the efficacy of nationwide policymaking and expedite infrastructure and investment reforms.
