India to Attract $800 Billion Investment Boost Led by Defense, Energy, and Data Centers

India is projected to attract around $800 billion in capital investments over the next five years, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Morgan Stanley forecasts an increased investment rate to 37.5% of GDP by FY2030, with nearly 60% of funds directed towards defense, energy transition, and data centers. Policy efforts focus on strengthening domestic manufacturing, reducing external vulnerabilities, and enhancing resilience through strategic diversification and foreign investment, particularly in digital infrastructure and nuclear power projects.
