A study of Japanese trade and investment with India

Japanese investment in India has been relatively low compared to the investment India has received from countries such as the USA. Much of the Japanese investment to date has focused on industry sectors such as automotive vehicles and components, IT and engineering. But recent investment activity suggests that Japanese companies are becoming more emboldened with respect to pursuing opportunities in India and are beginning to broaden their interest into new sectors. NTT Docomo's investment in Tata Teleservices and Daiichi Sankyo's acquisition of Ranbaxy are both landmark investments.

During the Indian Prime Minister's visit to Japan in 2008, a number of new initiatives were announced to promote both trade and investment and improve things such as air transport links. Future opportunities for Japanese companies are extremely attractive with sectors such as power generation and transmission, renewable energy, transportation and chemicals requiring substantial foreign investment if India is to meet its longer term growth objectives.
