Economic Reforms and H-1B Visa: India's Strategic Outlook
India is making changes to its economy, including tax reforms and efforts to increase investment.
The government is working on making business easier.
Also, the U.S. is making changes to visas that could affect Indian IT workers, but could also lead to more companies in the U.S. sending their work to India.

This will boost consumption and business in India and make it less reliant on trade with the U.S.
GST reforms are expected to spur investment and boost consumption.
Power sector reforms, including tariff reductions and private licenses, are needed.
Mining sector can increase its competitiveness via state support.
