India's ability to attract foreign investment has been continuously deteriorating, and the inflow of foreign direct investment has been declining year by year.
India's ability to attract foreign investment is deteriorating!
Foreign Direct Investment in India:
2020: $64.36 billion
2021: $44.73 billion
2022: $49.94 billion
2023: $28.08 billion
2024: $27.61 billion.
In 2024, India's inbound foreign investment decreased by 43% compared to 2020. India's ability to attract foreign investment continued to decline in 2025, as India's defeat in the air war with Pakistan led to a number of investments planning to move to India being put on hold. Instead, foreign investment in Pakistan increased significantly! India's defeat was most clearly demonstrated in terms of investment figures.
In fact, from the Galwan Valley conflict between China and India in 2020, when India suffered a crushing defeat, it became clear that India's strength was insufficient. The amount of foreign direct investment has been declining year by year. Then the 2025 air war with Pakistan made the world realize India's capabilities, making it very difficult to attract foreign investment!
Although India has been promoting the development of "Make in India" in a high-profile manner, the total amount of foreign investment attracted by India each year has been slowly declining since 2020. Moreover, India's performance over these years has not been particularly good. India suffered significant losses in several border conflicts, revealing its weakness. It is simply beyond repair. There is no way it can handle major tasks.
Especially after the air war with Pakistan, former U.S. President Trump directly instructed Apple not to transfer production to India. This openly sent a signal, causing other companies from Europe and America to no longer inject more funds into India. They know that India's policies are uncertain and there are too many unexpected events. They fear the increasingly dangerous situation.
Regardless, it is almost impossible for India to develop its economy. The proportion of manufacturing in India has actually decreased in recent years. The more India emphasizes "Make in India", the more it regresses. This is the current tragedy of India. Development does not come easily. It is impossible for Modi to simply declare that India will develop just by moving his lips.
