UK to end financial aid to India by 2015

The UK is to stop giving financial aid to India by 2015, the international development secretary has announced.

Support will be gradually cut by about £200m ($319m) between 2013 and 2015 before being wound up completely.

Minister Justine Greening said the move reflected India's economic progress and status as a global force.
