Ongoing conflict in West Asia to discourage investment into India: BMI

Fitch Group company BMI on Tuesday said that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East could discourage investment in India, and offset the positive effects of trade deals with the EU and US on GDP. Despite the favourable readings of policy uncertainty so far in 2026, BMI kept the FY2026/27 growth outlook unchanged, projecting a 7 per cent GDP expansion. It, however, flagged risks to the outlook but said it is currently assessing the geopolitical situation to quantify its impact on India's GDP. "From March onwards, we expect uncertainty to increase sharply due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. We believe this will discourage investment in India, offsetting the (EU and US) trade deals' positive effects on GDP," BMI said in its India outlook report. The US and Israel jointly launched military strikes on Iran on February 28. Iran responded by firing drones and missiles at Israel and US military installations around the Gulf, and also at the global business hub of Dubai. BMI sa

Andhra tops India investment chart, secures 25.3% of proposed FY26 capital

Andhra Pradesh has emerged as India's top investment destination, capturing 25.3 per cent of all proposed investments in the first nine months of current fiscal (FY26), according to a Bank of Baroda report. The state now leads peers such as Odisha (13.1 per cent) and Maharashtra (12.8 per cent), signalling a shift in industrial momentum toward the eastern and southern corridors. The report notes that over half (51.2 per cent) of India's total proposed capital investment is concentrated in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Maharashtra. Nationwide, investment announcements reached Rs 26.6 lakh crore in the period, up 11.5 per cent year-on-year. "There are clear signs of a pick-up in investment intentions in the country this year," the report said, adding this was on the back of a very positive policy package of the government which has focussed on capex, lowering of income tax rates and GST 2.0. This, it said, has countered to an extent the impact of the higher tariffs imposed by the USA o
