The largest investments have come from West Asia, with the UAE government committing the maximum ($75 billion) for India’s infrastructure build-out, and Qatari private players pledging $15.6 billion for urban development. Most of these two types of investments are concentrated in Gujarat and Maharashtra, India’s most developed states. Among multilaterals, the International Finance Corporation has committed nearly $20 billion across a range of sectors from tourism to agriculture and energy. These investments are spread across India (as seen by the green markers on the map).
