Key Highlights

• Indian FDI in US reaches $16.4 billion, supporting over 70,000 jobs across key sectors.
• Rising investments signal stronger India-US economic ties with growing focus on innovation and expansion.

Rising Contribution Across Key Sectors

Indian companies have also invested around $330 million in research and development (R&D) in the US, reinforcing their role in innovation-driven sectors. The investments span industries such as pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, energy, and technology, contributing to local economies and strengthening supply chains.

Echoing the momentum, Sergio Gor stated that Indian investments in the US are set to grow further. “Massive new investments from India are flowing into the United States at the 2026 SelectUSA Summit - the largest we’ve seen,” he noted.

According to a report by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Indian investments in the US had earlier been estimated at around $40 billion, supporting over 425,000 jobs. The report also highlighted strong contributions to R&D and corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Top US states attracting Indian investments include Texas, Georgia, and New Jersey, reflecting a diversified geographic footprint.

Recent developments, such as Sun Pharma announcing a $12 billion acquisition of Organon & Co., underline the growing scale of outbound investments from India. Additionally, several Indian firms are expected to announce fresh investments at the ongoing summit, signalling sustained cross-border economic engagement.

Namgya Khampa, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Indian Embassy, emphasised the broader impact: “Indian companies are making a growing contribution to the US economy by bringing in capital, supporting jobs, strengthening supply chains, and contributing to communities.”
