Piyush Goyal urges global companies to invest in India, highlighting its potential for manufacturing and technology amidst geopolitical challenges.
New Delhi, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal recently called on global companies to invest in India, emphasizing the country as a secure destination for investment. Speaking at the CII Partnership Summit 2026 in Visakhapatnam, he urged investors to establish their next factories, design centers, and Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India. Goyal stressed the importance of focusing on quality and sustainability in their operations.
“Invest in factories, hotels, and data centers, as India is a safe investment destination,” he stated. He further encouraged India’s trade partners to enhance their presence in the country, noting the availability of investment opportunities across various sectors.
Goyal highlighted India’s strengths, which include its talented human resources, entrepreneurial spirit, manufacturing capabilities, and a rapidly growing startup ecosystem. He believes these factors position India to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the global economy.
“The success of Indian talent worldwide is not just an individual achievement but an opportunity for India’s growth and prosperity,” he remarked. He added that as India progresses, it opens new possibilities for the world.
At the same event, Goyal reassured investors that India respects intellectual property rights (IPR) and does not engage in technology theft, addressing rising concerns about technological security. “India always respects intellectual property rights. We do not steal anyone’s technology,” he affirmed.
He further stated, “In a world filled with betrayals, India offers you a partner who will not stab you in the back.” Goyal emphasized that trust is the rarest commodity, and achieving it is the most challenging task.
He pointed out that while the 20th century was driven by cost advantages, the 21st century will be defined by trust advantages. In a time when geopolitical conflicts disrupt global trade, India provides investors with policy stability and predictability, making it an attractive option for future investments.
