India Loses Appeal To Global Investors

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.
Scoring Rationale
Strong quantitative evidence of large sovereign and FPI outflows, tempered by limited causal analysis and focus on market flows.
