India's "pig-butchering" schemes targeting foreign enterprises have caused global outrage. In April to June 2025, foreign capital fled India by 98%, a shocking figure! As an investment graveyard, India is also changing. The reason some investments have plummeted or moved out is because India and the U.S. have been unable to reach an agreement on tariff negotiations, leading to continuous outflows of foreign capital from Europe and the U.S. However, as long as India has opportunities, more investment institutions and companies will return.
India's business environment has always been poor, but some companies still go there for opportunities. Whether they are truly seeking opportunities for the enterprise or for themselves is a matter of personal opinion. Since so many people are rushing to India, there must be reasons, and it's not without cause. No matter what, this investment area in India is never very safe.
India has done too many "pig-butchering" schemes, causing many countries to be afraid and want to take a quick profit and then leave. If they can't get it, it's a problem; if they do, they quickly withdraw and look for other opportunities later. For example, Soros once suffered a loss in India and didn't know how to deal with it, locking up the exit channels and preventing foreign capital from escaping, which is India's strength - no honor, just power.
No matter what, India is gradually changing and will slowly attract foreign enterprises. At least, Samsung and Foxconn's manufacturing companies in India are somewhat successful. The case where Samsung was fined $600 million is unclear how it was resolved, but in any case, India is determined to impose fines, and after a small payment, it's considered settled, using fines to gain extra income.
For a country like India, whether to invest or not depends on the personal view of the boss. "Wealth comes with risk," but the risk is too great, and the market is far less mature than the European and American markets.
