India is entering a period of sustained economic growth, supported by strong domestic demand, infrastructure development and ongoing capital market reforms. At the same time, the market remains complex and requires careful assessment of regulatory, operational and governance factors. 

The recent trade agreement between India and EFTA (TEPA) contributes to a clearer framework for Norwegian investors, while international institutions continue to increase their exposure, supported by organizations such as Invest India and the Confederation of Indian Industry.

Against this backdrop, the session will provide a practical and balanced discussion of both opportunities and key considerations for Norwegian investors.
