Japan Leads India’s Foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Q1 FY27
Japan became the largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in India during April-June 2026-27, contributing $5.71 billion, nearly 29% of India's total equity inflows of $19.81 billion. This surpasses Japan's total FDI in the previous fiscal year. The investments align with Japan's decade-long target of 10 trillion yen in India. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal recently visited Japan to strengthen trade ties. Experts note Japanese investors are increasingly active, diversifying supply chains amid geopolitical and economic shifts.
