India Loses Appeal To Global Investors
7.6
Ahead of the Union Budget on Feb. 1, 2026, foreign capital — including sovereign wealth and portfolio investors — is withdrawing from India: state-owned investment fell 72% in 2025 to $5.7 billion, while FPIs withdrew nearly Rs 1 lakh crore that year. Global SWF data shows sovereign assets near $60 trillion (sovereign wealth funds $15 trillion), yet nearly half of 2025 allocations went to the US, driven by digital infrastructure, AI and rising rates.
Key Points
- 1Reports show state-owned investment fell 72% to $5.7B in 2025; FPIs withdrew ~Rs1 lakh crore.
- 2Global SWF data: sovereign assets near $60T, but nearly half of 2025 allocations flowed to the US.
- 3Rising rates, AI/digital infrastructure demand and rupee depreciation reduce FPI returns by roughly 3–4%.
Scoring Rationale
Strong quantitative evidence of large sovereign and FPI outflows, tempered by limited causal analysis and focus on market flows.
