本研究主張印度的「東進政策」與台灣的「新南向政策」存在交集，成為雙方加強關係的現實基礎。印度與台灣關係的發展，近幾年雖有些成績，簽署了一些備忘錄，但從貿易額和投資額來看，台印關係既不密切也不重要，除非雙方能夠提升雙邊貿易的質與量，並且加強對印度的投資力道，才可能促進台印關係。台灣可以藉由支持「印度製造」，以及嵌入印度的印太政策，如公開支持「印太海洋倡議」，並表示願意與印度商談基於該倡議的具體合作，成為有貢獻的夥伴。 India's "Act East Policy" overlaps with Taiwan's "New Southbound Policy", which is the realistic basis for strengthening bilateral relations. Although India and Taiwan have made some progress and signed some memoranda in recent years, , Taiwan India relations are neither close nor important, in terms of trade and investment volume. If Taiwan can improve the quality and quantity of trade with India and can increase foreign direct investment in India, India-Taiwan relations can be elevated to a new level. Taiwan can become a contributing partner for India by supporting the Make in India policy and the Indo-Pacific Ocean Initiative.
