Investor Roundtable Showcases India’s Strong FDI Growth and Policy Push

India’s growing appeal as a global investment hub was highlighted at an investor roundtable in New Delhi which witnessed participations from representatives from major companies, industrial parks, and trade associations. Apart from this, more than 50 industrial parks from states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan were also present.

The roundtable was addressed by Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, through a video message. He termed India’s foreign direct investment (FDI) journey transformational and pointed out that FDI is now coming from 112 countries, up from 89 in 2013–14. Goyal noted that the liberal investment regime, allowing up to 100% FDI through the automatic route in most sectors, reflects India’s commitment to growth, transparency, and global partnerships.

The session was chaired by Amardeep Singh Bhatia, Secretary, DPIIT, who stressed the need for reinvestment and ecosystem development. He encouraged investors to scale operations, co-invest in startups, and share inputs for improving infrastructure and policy support.

Participants praised India’s investor-friendly reforms and called for further action on land and labour policies, skill development, and boosting investment in manufacturing and green energy.
