The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the Agency for International Development (USAID) have provided numerous financial supports and grants from 2021 through 2025 to various foreign recipients, with a strong focus on India. The DFC extended foreign investment financing, equity investments, direct loans, and guaranteed loans totaling hundreds of millions of dollars to funds and enterprises involved in sectors such as technology, healthcare, financial inclusion, climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, and microfinance. Notable recipients include Lok Capital, MHV Fund III, Chiratae Ventures, Leapfrog Emerging Consumer Fund IV, Ankur Capital Fund III, and TP Solar Limited, which received a $250 million loan for a 4GW solar project. The DFC also supported COVID-19 recovery efforts for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and women-led businesses through loan guarantees and direct loans. USAID grants targeted programs promoting digital economy investments, women's economic empowerment, maternal and child health, and democracy reforms in India. Other U.S. government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture and the Department of State awarded smaller grants for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and environmental technology initiatives in India. Overall, these investments and grants highlight a continued U.S. commitment to supporting sustainable development, technology innovation, and economic empowerment in emerging markets, particularly India.
