The UK government is firming up plans to make substantial cuts to British aid to India, worth £280m a year. International development secretary Justine Greening says it's better to refocus Britain's relations with India on trade.
UK aid to India has long been contentious. In 2011 a group of British MPs said that despite its huge economic growth India should receive aid until 2015 to ensure it meets the millennium development goals.
Yet many have questioned whether UK aid is working. Pranab Mukherjee, then the Indian finance minister, said in February that Delhi did not need UK aid but had agreed to accept it under pressure from Britain.
