India has firmly established itself as one of the world’s most compelling investment destinations. With GDP growth of 6.5% in FY 2024–25, record exports exceeding USD 824 billion, and inflation at a six-year low, India offers rare economic resilience in a turbulent global environment.

This  publication, prepared by IJ, traces India’s journey from protectionism to becoming a transparent, rules-based FDI hub. It highlights:

  • Liberalized Policy Framework: Over 90% of FDI inflows now come through the Automatic Route, ensuring predictability and ease for investors.

  • Strategic Reforms: 100% FDI permitted in renewables, space technology, medical devices, fintech, and now insurance, while sensitive sectors like defence, media, and multi-brand retail remain strategically regulated.

  • Global-Standard Governance: Digitalized land records, the National Single Window System, and GIFT City IFSC position India as a future-ready investment hub.

  • Consumer Evolution: A rapidly expanding, aspirational middle class across metros and Tier-2/3 cities drives demand for localized, premium offerings

The analysis goes beyond policy to provide strategic insights, sectoral deep dives, and compliance essentials, making it a one-stop guide for cross-border investors. It underlines that India is not just a large market but a predictable, innovation-friendly, and globally aligned investment ecosystem. For those seeking long-term, sustainable growth opportunities, this publication is essential reading.
