    THE wait just got longer for investors who expected sweeping moves to bolster India's economy after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's landslide election win.

    Lawmakers failed to vote on a six-year-old bill that would allow more foreign investment in the insurance sector before a month-long parliament session ended on Tuesday. Now it'll have to wait until at least the next session in February.
