The Tories, which leads a coalition government headed by Prime Minister David Cameron, stressed on building stronger ties with India in an election manifesto released in Swindon.
"As part of our drive to attract more investment into the UK and increase British exports, we will build on our strong relationship with India, push for an ambitious EU-India trade deal and support India's bid for permanent representation on the UN Security Council," the document said.
Cameron, who led the largest-ever business delegation to India soon after taking over as Prime Minister in 2010, has since made his leanings towards the country quite clear.
Last month, he joined Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan to launch the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Parliament Square and hailed the "incredibly special friendship between the world's oldest democracy and its largest".

"We will help the Manchester Museum, in partnership with the British Museum, to establish a new India Gallery," says the document.
India's environmental efforts also get Tory backing with plans to "support the Indian government in its efforts to protect the Asian elephant."
In contrast, the Opposition Labour party made no specific references to India in its manifesto launched yesterday. China, however, seems to have found space in the world view of the party led by Ed Miliband.
"Labour will set up an Asia Step-Change Taskforce to ensure a more strategic and effective dialogue with regional partners, including China, both in the commercial realm, and in other areas, from cultural exchange to human rights," the party's manifesto said.
