India FDI flows could rise to pandemic-era peak of $55 billion in 2 years, says HSBC

Foreign direct investment into India may have sharply slowed over the last year, but accelerating investment intentions in “futuristic sectors” could usher in a new wave of FDI, taking gross inflows back to COVID-era peak levels of $55 billion in two years, HSBC’s economists said

“While inflows into the pandemic-period sectors such as computers and chemicals have slowed, investment intentions in futuristic sectors like renewables, data centres, EVs, green hydrogen, AI, and semiconductors, are rising sharply,” HSBC wrote in a January 11 note.
