1 India Studies in Business and Economics

2 The Indian economy is considered to be one of the fastest growing economies of the world with India amongst the most important G-20 economies. Ever since the Indian economy made its presence felt on the global platform, the research community is now even more interested in studying and analyzing what India has to offer. This series aims to bring forth the latest studies and research about India from the areas of economics, business, and management science. The titles featured in this series will present rigorous empirical research, often accompanied by policy recommendations, evoke and evaluate various aspects of the economy and the business and management landscape in India, with a special focus on India s relationship with the world in terms of business and trade.

5 Foreword India and Africa have been long-term allies in the drive for African independence in the middle of the past century. India s Africa policy emphasized decolonization and the achievement of African majority rule. Both opposed all forms of domination, particularly racial domination, in any part of Africa or Asia. The relationship has consolidated over the years not only in the political arena, but also in the social, cultural and economic relations. Looking to intensify the economic relations, the government of India initiated the Focus Africa Programme, extended soft loan facilities through its Exim Bank and introduced debt-relief measures for African countries. The Confederation of Indian Industries and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industries organized conclaves, conferences and programmes to increase India s economic footprint across Africa. As a result of these efforts, India-Africa trade reached US$68 billion in 2014 and is projected to surpass US$75 billion in Yet the trade potential between the two regions is far greater, and its spread and composition can substantially diversify. India has also extended a duty-free tariff preferential scheme to the 34 least developed countries in Africa, which covers more than 90% of India s tariff lines and provides preferential market access for the exports of all least developed countries. Indian investment in Africa now covers much of the continent, in different sectors, ranging from mining, telecommunications and information technology-enabled services to apparel, retail ventures, fisheries and food processing. Indian conglomerates have profitable projects in Africa and the total investment of Indian companies in Africa is estimated at more than US$32 billion. In the other direction, African multinationals, particularly from South Africa, have ventured into India over the past decade, with a growing presence in infrastructure, breweries and financial services. India and Africa have also been engaging on trade policy, with close coordination and synchronization on agricultural subsidy and pricing issues in the Doha Round of trade negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO), to ensure that the Doha Round is truly a Development Round. v

6 vi Foreword I also welcome the growing cooperation via Africa s continental Institutions, the African Union and the African Development Bank. A substantial amount of the funds committed for capacity building in Africa are being channelled through the African Union in a Joint Action Plan involving shared decision making for allocation of resources. This co-equal multilateralism is an important feature of India s new model of engagement with Africa. The achievements in economic cooperation in recent years have been considerable. A major landmark has been the India-Africa Forum summits, organized first in 2008 and again in 2011, which place development cooperation in a much broader context of overall relations between India and African countries. Development is seen not merely in economic terms but as a process that is sustainable only if located within a larger political, social and intellectual environment. The third India-Africa Forum summit is scheduled to be held in New Delhi later this year in October. I look forward to the Forum, which will provide yet another great opportunity for realizing the potential for enhancing the cooperation between Africa and the Indian subcontinent.
