Britain has signed six deals with India, including a £1.3 billion investment by Vodafone, British Trade Minister Francis Maude said on Thursday during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to London.
After a speech to businessmen in which Modi outlined how much work had been done by India to make the country more business-friendly, Maude said deals had also been done with Lightsource, a solar voltaic energy generator, Intelligent Energy on clean energy and King's College Hospital.
"The first agreement I can announce is Vodafone, which has announced further investments in India to a total of £1.3 billion," Maude said. He said the investment covered network expansion and upgrades, and new technology and data centres.
