Happy to be part of unveiling the Position Paper 2025.
India holds a significant international position as the world’s fourth-largest economy and one of its fastest-growing, with projected growth to become the third-largest economy. Original Equipment Manufacturers are keen to be part of India’s success journey. The year 2025 marks the “Bharat Rising” theme promoted by organizations like Young Indians and includes important economic milestones, technological advancements, and the incremental success of Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Doing business in India is becoming easier for European companies due to government reforms like a simplified tax structure, a single-window system for customs and building permits, and improved dispute resolution mechanisms. While challenges remain, ongoing digitalization and initiatives like Make in India have improved India’s business environment and made it more attractive for foreign investment.
The experienced team at EBG Federation is consistently putting in efforts to address some of the common challenges faced by European companies, helping to bridge the gap in ease of doing business in India. The Annual Position Paper is an excellent compilation of current government policies and coordinated information from various interactions and deliberations on the practical aspects of doing business. Heartfelt thanks to the whole fraternity — our collective efforts will help foster inclusive growth!
