On 14 February 1907, as Chief of Cabinet of the President of the Ministry of João Franco, he was appointed 113th Governor-General of India, an office he bore until the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910. His government was marked by the promulgation of various measures towards developing commerce in the province. One of the most important improvements achieved in his tenure was the building of metal bridges to improve the communication between cities in the province. Among other achievements, he regularised the water supply in Pangim city by building a special reservoir at Bainguinim with special imported materials from France. He also increased the capacity of the port at Mormugão and he was responsible for Campal Avenue, where he constructed roads with footpaths and planted trees, the fact that he was an engineer by profession made a difference. His government was marked by onother Revolt of the Ranes, to which the simple arrival of a Company of Landins from Mozambique was enough to overcome. With the Proclamation of the Portuguese Republic he ended his term. Horta e Costa embarked for his homeland without being molested and with the respect of all the population of India.
