India’s economic transformation has seen remarkable acceleration, with over half of its lifetime investment of $14 trillion occurring in the past decade, according to a report by Motilal Oswal. This $8 trillion infusion underscores rapid modernization and robust infrastructure development.
The report forecasts continued momentum, projecting another $8 trillion in investments over the next five years. This surge marks a recovery in India’s investment-to-GDP ratio, which had stagnated since 2011 but is now rebounding due to post-pandemic recovery measures and increased government spending.
India’s expanding investment landscape highlights its ongoing economic growth and rising global competitiveness. Simultaneously, the country’s stock markets have shown remarkable resilience—posting positive returns in 26 out of the last 33 years, despite annual drawdowns of 10-20%. The report advises investors to adopt a long-term approach, as bear markets often turn into minor setbacks when viewed historically.
With strong investment momentum and a stable market, India is set to solidify its position as a global economic powerhouse.
