Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, today held discussions in Tokyo with senior leaders of leading Japanese financial and investment institutions on strengthening long-term capital flows, deepening investment partnerships and expanding Japanese participation in India’s growth story.

The meeting brought together senior representatives of MUFG, Development Bank of Japan (DBJ), Mizuho, Morgan Stanley, Nomura and Nippon Life. The discussions focused on India’s economic outlook, emerging investment opportunities and measures to further facilitate Japanese institutional investment in India.

Shri Goyal highlighted the strength and resilience of the Indian economy, noting that India recorded 7.7 per cent growth last year despite global uncertainties and is working towards becoming a USD 30 trillion economy by 2047. He underlined the strength of India’s banking sector, robust capital adequacy, low levels of non-performing assets, expanding middle class and rising disposable incomes as key drivers of sustained economic growth.

The Minister highlighted significant opportunities for Japanese investors in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, data centres, renewable energy, green hydrogen, advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure. He noted that India’s expanding renewable energy capacity and national power grid provide a strong foundation for the growth of energy-intensive digital industries, while the India Semiconductor Mission is creating new opportunities across manufacturing and technology.

Highlighting the strategic and comprehensive nature of India-Japan relations, Shri Goyal said India regards Japan as a trusted partner in its journey towards becoming a global manufacturing, technology and investment hub. He emphasised India’s commitment to intellectual property protection, availability of high-quality talent, policy reforms and creating an increasingly conducive business environment.

The Japanese financial institutions shared their growing engagement with India and expressed strong confidence in the country’s long-term growth prospects. MUFG highlighted its investment of around USD 4 billion in Shriram Finance and its expanding interests in areas including renewable energy and hydrogen. DBJ outlined its dedicated India strategy and growing interest in property development, venture capital and other long-term investment opportunities.
