Nirmala Sitharaman says capital is not leaving India only for AI sector
Nirmala Sitharaman On AI And India Investment Flows
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman responded to concerns about capital outflows from India, stating investment trends cannot be viewed narrowly through the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors. She said broader economic fundamentals continue to attract investment across industries.
Nirmala Sitharaman On Investment Outflow Claims
The minister rejected suggestions that money is leaving India primarily for global technology markets. She said the economy continues to receive diversified investment and that conclusions based on selective sectors do not reflect overall financial flows.
Officials noted investment decisions depend on multiple factors including growth potential, policy stability and domestic demand.
AI Sector And Capital Movement Debate
Speaking at NDTV Profit Conclave Sitharaman said interest in artificial intelligence does not imply a shift away from other sectors. According to the government, technology investments coexist with manufacturing, infrastructure and services expansion.
Authorities indicated that sectoral investment cycles fluctuate and should not be interpreted as structural capital flight.
India Economic Outlook And Investor Confidence
The government maintained that macroeconomic indicators and reforms continue to support investor confidence. Policymakers emphasised long-term growth prospects and steady domestic consumption as key strengths.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussion about global technology investment trends and their effect on emerging markets.
