Modi Calls on Japan: “Make in India, Make for the World”

India and Japan continue to share a partnership built on trust, technology, and shared aspirations. 
 
 
From the Delhi Metro to the Mumbai–Ahmedabad bullet train, Japan has played a defining role in India’s infrastructure growth.
 
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Tokyo reinforced India and Japan’s deep bond at a time when India faces tariff pressures from the U.S. and global supply chains are being reshaped. 
 
Speaking at the India-Japan Economic Forum, Prime Minister Narendra Modi positioned India as both a stable partner and a hub for global manufacturing.
 
 
“In India, capital does not just grow — it multiplies,” he said, inviting Japanese investors to “Make in India, Make for the World.” 

Japanese firms have already invested more than $40 billion, including $13 billion in the past two years, signalling strong momentum.
 
 
Prime Minister Modi emphasized India’s political stability, transparent governance, and reforms in taxation, defence, and energy, while noting the strength of a 1.4 billion-strong domestic market. 
 
He also pointed to emerging opportunities in digital governance, clean energy, and startups, framing India as both an innovation hub and manufacturing base.
 
 
Beyond economics, the partnership carries strategic weight. 
 
Japan views India as central to regional balance and supply chain resilience, while India sees Japan as a trusted ally. 
 
Prime Minister Modi said, Together, the nations can shape the “Asian Century.”
