Domestic enterprises demonstrate more faith in India than foreign investors

• Investment announcements in India have reached a 15-month high of ₹9.9 lakh crore in the first half of the financial year.

• Indian firms significantly dominate these announcements, contributing 94% compared to 77% in 2018-19.

• Domestic firms display increased optimism, with a near-record value of completed projects, offering relief to governmental investment ambitions.

• Most new investments are focused on the manufacturing sector, indicating a positive economic outlook beyond mere expectations of demand boosts from GST rate cuts.

• If successful, these investments could provide the government with more fiscal flexibility for developmental and defense initiatives.

• Conversely, foreign investments have declined to ₹0.6 lakh crore, the lowest in five years, indicating waning confidence in India’s market by foreign firms.

• Recent global factors, including post-pandemic recovery and tariff tensions with the U.S., contribute to this decreased foreign investment sentiment.

• Government announcement values fell 71% compared to last year, reflecting a slower pace in capital expenditure growth.

• The reduction in foreign and government investment intensifies the pressure on Indian firms, highlighting the need for continued ease of doing business reforms.
