Karnataka drew ₹10.27 lakh crore in investment during its 2025 Global Investors Meet (GIM) held in February. M.B. Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries, said over 60% of this has been realized in 2025, with 2026-27 set for major project developments. "More than 70% of this investment will go beyond Bangalore," Patil said. "North Karnataka alone will get 45%." This is boosted by new policies offering up to 30% capital subsidies and incentives beyond Bengaluru. Besides GIM investments, ₹30,000 crore came from electronics, aerospace, and manufacturing firms like Vayu Assets, ASM Technologies, Silfex India, River, and Volvo. IndiGo revealed plans for a second MRO center, and Balaji Wafers to open new plants. Currently, 46% of GIM commitments have been converted into projects, with the manufacturing sector reaching 60% conversion. Patil added, "Each investor has a nodal officer for support." Karnataka’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) hit $6.63 billion (₹50,000 crore) in 2025. Investments of ₹6,500 crore from Japan and ₹5,000 crore from Korea were noted. Patil led delegations to 10 countries, pushing deals across sectors. Looking ahead, Karnataka expects over ₹1 lakh crore in strong investment leads for 2026, mainly in Electronics & Semiconductors (₹50,000 crore), Auto & EV (₹20,000 crore), Aerospace & Defence (₹10,000 crore), and core manufacturing. The State’s Industrial Policy 2025-30 targets ₹7.5 lakh crore in investments and 20 lakh jobs by 2030. Ministerial visits to Germany and the UK are planned, plus a presence at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos. Experts stress turning plans into results. Harish Bijoor said, "The ultimate goal is to translate intent into action. We need to track this process with care. Plan, implement and evaluate." Murthy B.S. added, "Investments follow talent. Karnataka leads in tech, clean energy, and EV sectors." The 2025 investments are expected to create thousands of jobs soon and more in the coming years, marking strong growth for Karnataka's economy.
