The few million in aid that the UK government sends are rather investments through the FCDO and BII in Indian enterprises and security markets, from which the UK govt makes profits. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/india-rejects-aid-from-britain-says-it-is-peanuts/articleshow/11769480.cms https://icai.independent.gov.uk/html-version/icai-follow-up-uk-aid-to-india-html/ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/uk-still-gives-aid-to-india-dressed-up-as-business-investments-rather-than-direct-handouts-britain-watchdog/articleshow/98641083.cms
