Global Firms Expand in India as Foreign Investors Pull Billions

In September 2026, several global companies announced expansions in India: DoorDash said it would create 3,000 jobs at a new global tech centre, Apple Pay launched in the country after years of delays, and Coca-Cola was reported to be considering a December filing for a $1 billion IPO of its India unit. At the same time, foreign investors withdrew $3.2 billion from Indian markets as rising oil prices erased earlier policy gains. Separately, Tarar warned that India's unilateral actions on the Indus Waters Treaty could have implications for water governance globally.
