India continues to attract international investors’ attention due to steady economic growth and government reforms. However, along with the prospects, this market presents some risks. The Parimatch bookmaker shares insights in its analytical material for the publication Think With Nicher regarding investment sectors in India and the challenges awaiting investors in this market.
According to Parimatch, the main investment sectors in India in 2025 will be the digital economy, green energy and artificial intelligence. This is facilitated by the Digital India program, which stimulates the development of financial technologies and e-commerce. Parimatch reports that it is confirmed by the fact that Flutter Entertainment has already opened a Global Opportunities Center in Hyderabad, investing $3.5 million.
The Indian government is strongly supporting the development of renewable energy sources. Parimatch notes that this support was enough for the well-known JSW Group to announce investments of $34.67 billion in this sector in 2025.
As noted by Parimatch, the genuine interest of global economies in the development of artificial intelligence has contributed to the fact that Microsoft plans to invest $3 billion in Azure cloud services and artificial intelligence in India. According to the bookmaker’s observations, another company, ByteDance, is investing more than $20 billion in expanding AI developments in the country.
Despite India’s investment prospects, Parimatch analysts suggest taking into account the risks that many international companies have encountered in the Indian market. Among them are regulatory instability, infrastructure problems, corruption and litigation.
For example, tax changes, namely the increase in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from 18% to 28% in 2023, could negatively affect business. Parimatch says that such logistical difficulties as delays at customs and weak digital infrastructure create obstacles for companies. Parimatch believes that investors also face lengthy court proceedings and bureaucratic barriers that slow down business processes in the country.
Parimatch emphasizes that India remains an attractive market, but success depends on understanding local characteristics and adapting to changes. Parimatch assures that companies should consider all factors to effectively use the opportunities of this growing market.
