For all the complexities of India's politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi seemed to have his economic path cut out for him. His 'Achche din aane waale hein' (good days are coming) campaign, which had won him a resounding election victory in 2014 for his first term, suggested that Modi's primary goal was growth and development for his country and people, and hence also an agenda of economic reform. Focusing specifically on India's negotiations in the context of the WTO, I show in this paper that India has continued to hold on to its former trade policy priorities and negotiation positions and adopted even more hard-line positions in some cases.
