PM Modi to visit Japan, likely to secure $70bn investment
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is off to Japan later today for a two-day visit focused on ramping up the "Make in India, Make for the World" initiative.
The big headline? Japan is expected to double its investment in India—from 5 trillion yen (nearly ₹3 lakh crore) to 10 trillion yen—which could provide a major boost for India's manufacturing sector.
Modi's itinerary in Japan
Modi will meet top bosses from Japanese giants like Sony, Hitachi, Nippon, and Nomura to talk about boosting manufacturing and teaming up on things like semiconductors, AI, and critical minerals.
He'll also join the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to strengthen ties—especially important now with US-India trade tensions heating up.
After Japan, Modi heads straight to China for a regional summit, showing how active India wants to be on the world stage right now.
