India Attracts $351 Billion in Greenfield FDI, Surpassing China Amid Global Supply Chain Shift
India attracted $351 billion in greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) from 2021 to 2025, more than double China's $159 billion in the same period, according to Boston Consulting Group data. India's greenfield FDI rose 61% from the previous five years, while China's declined 54%. Experts attribute this shift to global supply chain realignments amid geopolitical uncertainties. Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia also saw FDI increases. BCG's Nikolaus Lang emphasized the need for India to improve infrastructure, skills, and cost competitiveness to sustain growth.
