Amid heightened geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Railways, and Communications Ashwini Vaishnaw reassured that India’s economic trajectory remains unaffected, underscoring sustained global investor confidence.

Speaking on the sidelines of an event, the Minister said that there continues to be a strong sense of trust in India’s economy, policy framework, and skilled workforce. He emphasised that international investors are keen to engage with India more rapidly and that the country’s economic fundamentals remain robust.

Vaishnaw’s remarks come at a time when geopolitical uncertainties in the region have triggered concerns over the potential impact on foreign direct investment and the stability of global supply chains. Despite this, the Minister maintained that investor sentiment towards India remains positive and forward-looking.

He attributed this optimism to the consistent policy environment and the depth of India’s human capital, which he said are drawing increased global attention.

To further strengthen the domestic ecosystem, the government recently notified a scheme aimed at incentivising the indigenous production of electronic components and sub-components. Additionally, preparations are underway to launch the second phase of the India Semiconductor Mission, which is expected to bolster India’s capabilities in chip design and manufacturing.

The statements reflect the Centre’s broader efforts to project economic resilience and policy continuity, even as the country navigates external security challenges.
