Several Thai firms already operating out of India are keen to invest close to $3 billion in India in greenfield and brownfield projects in the infrastructure, energy and metals sector, reports PTI.
Around 30 Thai companies are currently operational in India in the fields of infrastructure, hospitality, food processing and real estate. The second free trade agreement (FTA) between India and ASEAN nations have impacted Thai goods positively.
Thailand too, has invited Indian firms to invest overseas. Around 40 Indian firms in the fields of software, agricultural chemicals, electric vehicles (EVs) are active in Thailand, having invested around $2 billion. Bilateral trade between the two nations has shot up by eight times since 2000 and is currently at around $10 billion.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
