India faces tougher fight for foreign capital as FPI outflows rise

2026-10-01 · 1 source · Economic Times Economy

In short

India is facing more pressure to attract foreign money as FPI outflows rise, the summary said. Investors are moving cash toward AI, semiconductors and manufacturing hubs in Taiwan and South Korea.

This matters because India still wants long-term investment, especially FDI. The report says policy uncertainty, tariffs, regulation and weak manufacturing competitiveness may affect that, but it gives no numbers.

Why it matters

The summary says India’s FDI outlook is still resilient, but policy uncertainty, tariffs, regulation and weak manufacturing competitiveness may affect future inflows.
