New Delhi, April 5 (NationPress) With a robust economic forecast, policy reforms, and a resilient marketplace, India continues to be a highly appealing destination for global capital, experts noted on Saturday.
The recent reciprocal tariffs implemented by the US government on Indian products are relatively minimal compared to those affecting other Asian nations, thereby maintaining India’s competitive advantage.
“This presents a significant opportunity to provide viable export prospects for the nation. India stands as one of the fastest-expanding economies, boasting a vast consumer base, a skilled workforce, and a government committed to implementing business-friendly reforms, ” remarked Manoj Purohit, Partner and Leader, FS Tax, Tax and Regulatory Services, BDO India.
The government’s ongoing emphasis on infrastructure, digital expansion, and improving the ease of doing business further enhances investor confidence.
The recent decision by the RBI to maintain the existing corporate bond and G-sec limits for foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) demonstrates the government's intention to keep the doors open for international participants to continue investing in the Indian market.
Moreover, trade diversification and strategic partnerships are creating new investment opportunities. While tariffs may present short-term hurdles, India’s solid economic fundamentals ensure that foreign investors will continue to regard India as a premier destination for long-term investments, even in risk-averse scenarios.
“The Indian economy currently appears well-equipped to withstand temporary challenges arising from macroeconomic changes and domestic factors such as high valuations, tight earnings, and rising inflation costs,” Purohit stated.
Market participants will closely monitor the long-term effects of the proposed tariffs, alongside anticipated announcements from the RBI’s monetary policy stance amid expectations of a potential rate cut to guide investment strategies for the upcoming cycle.
The upcoming week is critical, filled with significant domestic and global triggers. With tariff-related tensions escalating, global investors will pay close attention to any further developments in this area, remarked Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research at Religare Broking.
Domestically, the outcome of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting on April 9 will be a central focus, followed by important macroeconomic indicators — IIP and CPI data — set to be released on April 11. Additionally, the Q4 earnings season will commence with IT giant TCS scheduled to announce its results on April 10.
