Japan plans to unveil a 10 trillion yen (about US$68 billion) investment target for India during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Tokyo on 29–30 August, government sources told Japanese and Indian media. The figure more than doubles the 5 trillion yen, five-year commitment announced in 2022. The decade-long programme, expected to be included in a joint statement after Modi meets Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, will mobilise public and private funding to deepen cooperation in semiconductors, critical minerals, clean energy, artificial intelligence and other strategic sectors. Officials say the initiative is designed to strengthen supply-chain resilience and advance the two countries’ "free and open Indo-Pacific" agenda amid growing regional competition with China. Modi is also expected to confirm India’s adoption of JR East’s next-generation E10-series Shinkansen for its first high-speed rail corridor and will inspect a prototype train in Miyagi Prefecture with Ishiba. The leaders will discuss broader economic-security arrangements before Modi concludes his two-day visit on 30 August.
