Indian companies plan to invest over $20.5 billion across various sectors, including technology, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said on Wednesday.

India Inc's $20.5 billion investment plan includes the 12 Indian companies who announced $1.1 billion in investments at the SelectUSA Investment Summit.

"These partnerships are creating REAL American jobs and building STRONGER supply chains. Proof that when the world's largest democracies do business together, everyone wins," Gor said.

The investment proposal, announced at the key summit, would span across aerospace, defence, energy and artificial intelligence sectors.

US Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade William Kimmitt made the announcement saying, "We have 12 Indian companies making investment announcements at this summit, totalling more than USD 1.1 billion," adding that it marks the largest number of announcements summit has seen from a single delegation at SelectUSA.

Earlier on Tuesday, Gor signalled "massive new investments" from India to the US, describing the current trajectory of capital inflow as the "largest we've ever seen."

2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit is a flagship investment event organised by the US Commerce Department.

In a post on X, Ambassador Gor said, "BIG NEWS coming! Massive new investments from India are flowing into the United States at the 2026 #SelectUSASummit - the largest we've ever seen."

He further detailed the economic impact of these developments, stating that this is what a "true win looks like for the American economy", while noting that further details would be disclosed shortly.


The investment commitment by Indian companies comes a time when New Delhi and Washington are aiming to scale bilateral trade at $500 billion by 2030.

During the declaration of the India-US interim trade deal, Trump had noted that under the framework of the India-US interim trade deal, New Delhi had agreed to purchase $500 billion of US energy products, aircraft and aircraft parts, metals, coal and technology products for the next five years.
