India

India is a country in South Asia and the world's most populous nation, with over 1.4 billion people. Its capital is New Delhi, and its largest city is Mumbai. India operates as a federal parliamentary democratic republic, with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. The economy is one of the largest globally by both nominal and purchasing-power-parity measures, driven by services, manufacturing, agriculture and a rapidly expanding technology sector. Key exports include pharmaceuticals, petroleum products, gems and jewellery, textiles, chemicals and increasingly, digital services. India is a major producer and consumer of agricultural commodities, including rice, wheat, sugar, cotton, tea and spices, and is the world's largest producer of milk. The country is also a significant importer of energy, minerals and edible oils. India's currency is the rupee. The nation is a member of the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, BRICS and the G20, and plays an influential role in regional and global economic forums. Since economic liberalisation in the early 1990s, India has emerged as a key destination for foreign investment and a growing hub for manufacturing and innovation.
