Joe Chidley: High Commissioner of Canada in India points to steady expansion of trade, investment

Will India ever be the land of opportunity the international community hoped it might become when Narendra Modi — populist, economic reformer, global citizen — came to power in 2014? Certainly, in the first few years under Modi, optimism seemed merited.

A gut check for that question is simply to look at how far Modi’s India has already come in real terms, which often get lost in broad analyses of policy and politics in a country as large and complex as India. The Canada-India economic relationship has been a beneficiary of that movement, and it provides a small but important illustration of India’s evolution under Modi. Two-way trade in goods between Canada and India last year reached $9.8 billion — a modest sum in the big scheme of things, perhaps, but it represents a billion-dollar increase over 2017, and is 60 per cent higher than five years ago, according to Patel, whose term ends later this year.
