India Introduces Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill to Boost Investment and Manufacturing
The Indian government introduced the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, aiming to attract foreign investment, boost manufacturing, and enhance ease of doing business. Key proposals include extending tax exemptions for electronics contract manufacturing and foreign companies supplying machinery until 2040-41, simplifying tax rules for offshore investment funds managed from India, and easing compliance for foreign firms using Indian data centres. The Bill also offers tax incentives for sectors like diamond trading, REITs, InvITs, and sovereign debt investors, seeking to provide greater tax certainty amid global economic uncertainties.
