a) Technology and IT

With an upsurge in innovation and the evolution of new-age technologies, such as 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and automation, the IT & ITeS and technology sectors are brimming with potential. Global Capability Centres (GCCs), established by multinational corporations in India, have a substantial impact by creating job opportunities, accelerating the adoption of cutting-edge technology, and developing skill sets. The nation is expecting to host 2,550 centres by 2030, reaching a market value of $110 billion. These developments raise global demand for technology services, establishing Indian enterprises as leaders in the sector. At 47-50%, the technology industry has the largest share of India’s services exports and employs over five million people. It is poised to cross the $300 billion mark in FY26, according to Nasscom. Global outsourcing demand, digital usage and technological breakthroughs in automation are key trends within the sector.
 

b) Renewable Energy

India’s resolve to become a net-zero nation by 2070, along with its commitment to clean energy and sustainability, is driving huge investments in the renewable energy sector. As the country works to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, the focus and investments in solar, wind and energy storage options are increasing. The nation aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, of which ~209 GW of the installed renewable energy capacity was already completed by December 2024, reflecting a 15.84% increase from the previous year. India’s renewables energy market is expected to reach $46.7 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 8.7%. Government subsidies, reforms, 100% FDI, global environmental goals, and rising energy demand continue to drive India's renewable energy market.
 

c) Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare

Rising healthcare awareness and spending, increased exports, and a demand for cost-effective medicines are driving growth in India’s pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Apart from being the world's third-largest pharma industry by volume , the nation boasts established expertise and export abilities in pharmaceuticals. It is the world's largest producer of vaccines, accounting for ~60% of global vaccine production and has the most number of USFDA-approved facilities outside the US. Combined with ongoing R&D, this industry presents a key investment opportunity for global investors. The pharma sector is poised to be a $450 billion market by 2047.
 

d) Consumer Goods

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) are in high demand in rural and urban markets. With rapid urbanisation, increasing incomes, a young population and growing discretionary spending, India has exponential potential in the consumer goods industry. It is expected to expand by 46% to become the world’s second-largest consumer market by 2030. India’s consumer spending is poised to touch a whopping $4.3 trillion by 2030, a massive increase from $2.4 trillion in 2024. Product innovation, quick commerce, e-commerce, experiential retail, credit availability and untapped rural market penetration have further enhanced the market’s prospects.
 

e) Infrastructure

Government initiatives in public infrastructure, such as the Smart Cities Mission , Bharatmala Pariyojana, Sagarmala Initiatives and more, are enhancing investment in the infrastructure sector. The increasing demand for construction materials and urban housing has also contributed to the sector’s growth in recent years. Infrastructure investments in India are expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.3%, reaching a market value of $1.45 trillion in the next five years. Investments in the sector are predicted to promote a sustained period of highly productive and fast-paced development.
