India attracted $351 billion in greenfield foreign direct investment (FDI) between 2021 and 2025, more than double China's $159 billion, according to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) data. India's investment rose 61% from $222 billion in the previous five-year period, while China's inflows fell 54% from $350 billion. Experts say global companies are increasingly looking beyond China to diversify their supply chains, making India an attractive investment destination. BCG's Nikolaus Lang said India must continue improving infrastructure, workforce skills and cost competitiveness to strengthen its manufacturing sector. The figures highlight India's growing position in global investment and manufacturing. (PC: X)
