The basic reason for the British to come to India was for trading purposes. In that period, Britain faced the Industrial Revolution. For that reason, they needed so many raw materials for their factories, which mainly came from India as well as they also needed a proper market for selling their finished goods. India can give them these two, a huge source of raw materials and a perfect market for selling those finished products. Therefore, the foremost economic impact of British rule in India was that the country became the centre of British trade. This further impacted the overall economic structure of the country.
