Japan Doubles Investment Target in India Amid U.S. Tariff Pressure
Japan has pledged ¥10 trillion (around $68 billion) in investments in India over the next ten years, doubling its earlier commitment. The move comes as both countries seek to deepen economic cooperation at a time when U.S. tariffs on Indian exports are creating fresh challenges.
Strategic Cooperation Roadmap
Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shigeru Ishiba unveiled a 10-year Joint Vision that expands collaboration across technology, clean energy, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, defense, and skill development. Both leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to work together under the Quad framework alongside the U.S. and Australia.
A Message Beyond Economy
Analysts see the upgraded investment pledge as more than an economic step. It is also viewed as a strategic signal of Japan’s trust in India’s long-term growth and its role as a stable partner in Asia. The announcement underscores how Tokyo and New Delhi are positioning themselves to counterbalance global trade disruptions and regional security concerns.
