India among top global destinations for cross-border investment in land and development sites: Report
New Delhi [India], June 14 (ANI): India has emerged as one of the leading global destinations for cross-border capital investment in land and development sites, according to a recent report released by Colliers.
The report highlighted that India attracted USD 735 million in cross-border capital in the 12-month rolling period ending Q1 2025, ranking it seventh among the top 10 global markets in this segment.
Of the total amount, USD 332 million came from global sources, while the remaining was contributed through regional capital flows.
India's share in total cross-border investment activity stood at 1.5 per cent, which is slightly on declining mode however it is more than its five-year average of 1.2 per cent.
Despite this, India continues to be seen as a key investment destination, especially when compared to other markets in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Notably, seven out of the top ten countries for cross-border land and development site investments are in the APAC region. This shows the growing strength and attractiveness of the region for global investors.
The report noted that APAC accounted for 80 per cent of all cross-border activity, with China alone contributing USD 38.1 billion, representing 79.7 per cent of the global total.
While China remains the dominant player, other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia have also increased their share of investment activity.
India's continued position in the top ten highlights investor confidence in its long-term growth potential and the opportunities available in its land and development markets.
The report also highlighted that investment volumes remained low across all regions in Q1 2025, staying at the bottom of the five-year range, despite a rise in activity during the latter half of 2024.
In other regions, North America saw a slight decline in investment activity and is beginning to lose its status as a global safe haven, while volumes in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) remained stable.
However, investor attention is now shifting towards Europe, with multiple European investors increasing their interest in APAC markets, including India. (ANI)

Speaking at a press conference in Dibrugarh to commemorate the NDA govt's 11th anniversary, the senior BJP leader said, "In just one decade, over 25 crore Indians have risen above poverty.

Meet Mukesh Ambani, Nita Ambani's badi bahu's sister, dazzles in diamonds and emeralds, even beats sister Shloka in jewellery collection, her name is…
The Ambani family is always in the spotlight when it comes to wealth, power, and fame. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, is not only India's richest man, but one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of over USD 110 billion. Whether it's their lavish homes, extravagant parties, or significant business decisions, every time the Ambani family makes a decision, it gets a lot of attention. One particular event that made headlines was the extravagant marriage of Akash Ambani to Shloka Mehta. Shloka Mehta is the daughter of major diamond player, Russell Mehta, who is the founder of Rosy Blue, one of India's largest Diamond companies. Shloka has been very much in the public eye but her cousin Ashna Mehta has been quietly making a name for herself in a far different way. Instead of taking HER PLACE in family business or big enterprise, Ashna pursued a creative enterprise. She has built a reputation as a fine jewellery designer and has made beautiful and opulent pieces of jewellery that have decorated the red carpets of Hollywood. Unlike the Ambani women, who seem to wear a hat as a chairman of a corporate board or another as a philanthropist, Ashna has made a name for her own and used HER love of design into a now successful global career – modestly, and without the onslaught of publicity, media or social media attention.

Indian Diaspora welcomes PM Modi's G7 visit as a chance to reset ties with Canada
New Jersey [US], June 14 (ANI): Global Indian Diaspora Alliance President HS Panesar has welcomed the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 Summit, calling it a pivotal moment to reset and rebuild Indo-Canadian relations. 'As of June 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's participation in the G7 Summit, hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Carney, is being widely viewed by the Indian diaspora and global observers as a crucial opportunity to address and improve the recent strain in bilateral ties,' Paneser said in an exclusive conversation. He noted that the prevailing sentiment within the diaspora is one of cautious optimism. 'This G7 Summit offers a significant chance to move past the recent diplomatic chill, which largely stemmed from allegations made by the previous Canadian government. The invitation extended by Prime Minister Carney is seen as an olive branch -- a symbolic and strategic soft restart to the relationship,' he added. Paneser emphasised the strong foundation shared by India and Canada, especially in trade, critical minerals, technology, and academic exchange. 'Both countries have much to gain from strengthened cooperation. There is a growing desire to focus on mutual interests and respect. The deep-rooted people-to-people ties -- especially the presence of a large Indian student population and a vibrant diaspora in Canada -- form a solid foundation for this renewed engagement,' said Paneser. He further lauded PM Modi's consistent emphasis on maintaining cordial international relations. 'The fact that PM Modi has been invited to the G7, despite India not being a member, underscores India's rising global stature as the world's most populous country and fourth-largest economy,' Paneser remarked. The Global Indian Diaspora Alliance views the invitation as recognition of India's pivotal role in global supply chains and its increasing importance in the world economy. 'We see this visit as a pivotal moment to rebuild trust, enhance cooperation, and usher in a more constructive and mutually beneficial phase in Indo-Canadian relations,' he said. 'In the spirit of progress and partnership, we, the members of the Indian diaspora, wholeheartedly welcome this positive move and hope it marks the beginning of better days for both nations,' Paneser concluded. PM Modi will pay an official visit to Cyprus, Canada and Croatia from June 15-19, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Saturday. According to MEA, PM Modi will visit Cyprus on June 15-16, followed by participation in the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, on June 16-17, and finally, an official visit to Croatia on June 18. During the second leg of his visit, at the invitation of Canadian PM Mark Carney, PM Modi will travel to Kananaskis in Canada on June 16-17 to participate in the G7 Summit. This would be PM Modi's 6th consecutive participation in the G7 Summit, according to the MEA statement. At the Summit, PM Modi will exchange views with leaders of G7 countries, other invited outreach countries and Heads of International Organisations on crucial global issues, including energy security, technology and innovation, particularly the AI-energy nexus and Quantum-related issues. PM Modi will also hold several bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the Summit. (ANI)
