In a unique move to push investments into India the Japanese Foreign Ministry will create a new centre on Wednesday to assist Japanese companies looking to expand into the big market. This Centre will assist Japanese companies to handle a variety of state-level regulations, a lack of transparency in the application of the law, and a complex tax system in India, according to persons familiar with the developments. The new centre in the Japanese Foreign Ministry will also assist cooperation in sectors of artificial intelligence, startups and critical minerals, ET has learnt. At the last annual Summit held in August 2025, New Delhi and Tokyo had set a goal of achieving 10 trillion yen ($62.6 billion) in private-sector investment in India over the next decade.
