A new government will soon be taking on the various challenges facing the Indian economy. We look at a few things that might top its to-do list:

Manufacturing & Investments

* Kick-starting the National Manufacturing Policy. It was rolled out in 2011 but failed to bring in required investment

* Increasing the share of manufacturing in gross domestic product. The share has fallen to 15%, while the NMP aims to increase it to 25% by 2020

* Boosting foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, which has dwindled over the past few years

* Reviewing the FDI policy for multi-brand retailing. It has failed to rope in big investors

* Should allow FDI in railways, real estate and e-commerce. These got stalled due to the impending elections
