Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal urges Japanese companies to “double” their presence in India by 2030, during a visit to Tokyo aimed at strengthening bilateral economic ties. The push centers on expanding investment and cooperation in areas including semiconductors, clean energy, and building more resilient supply chains.
Both outlets report that Goyal frames the request as an effort to broaden the India–Japan partnership, pointing to the existing depth of economic engagement and room for further growth. The proposal is tied to longer-term goals for investment flows and industrial collaboration over the rest of the decade, with a focus on sectors that support technology development and energy transition.
While the sources differ mainly in emphasis—one highlighting specific thematic targets like semiconductors and supply-chain resilience—the overall message remains consistent: Goyal calls for greater Japanese corporate involvement in India by the end of the decade as a way to deepen trade and investment links.
