Domestic sentiment saw positives outcomes as investors saw PM Narendra Modi's landslide victory in UP, India's most populous state pushing for further economic reforms. 

The triumphing victory has shown the undefeatable combination of both the Prime Minister Narendra Modi & BJP's president Amit Shah. The Saffron party's victory in both the northern states UP & Uttarakhand will increase their strength in the upper house and will also help them giving a much stronger voice in the next presidential candidate election when President Pranab Mukherjee retires this year in July.

Push to Economic reforms Agenda

Both the Foreign & Domestic Investors, who are positive about the outcomes of the elections results, will take the people's mandate as a push to economic reforms agenda. It will be a signal that the Saffron party BJP will be a strong contender of the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections will also be taken as a positive by foreign Investors, as they basically rely on continuations & stability in economic policy-making. The economy has recently shown that the demonetization drive the center took in the last November had a negligible impact on the overall economy especially the formal sector.
