Temasek bets big on India as it steps back from China

The Singapore state-owned fund has unveiled plans to invest $10 billion in India and to plough more capital into the US and Japan. At the same time, it is quietly retreating from China, once its largest investment market, but now beset by underperforming capital markets, weak growth and bleak consumption data.

Singapore’s Temasek has unveiled plans to plough $10 billion into India over the next three years, targeting investments in sectors including healthcare and financial services as it seeks to benefit from surging global interest in the world’s fastest-growing big economy.

Mohit Bhandari, managing director for India investments at the S$389 billion ($289.8 billion) state-owned fund, was reported as saying the firm is “bullish in India for the long-term”.

According to its latest accounts, India accounted for 7% of the fund’s global exposure at the end of March 2024, up from 6% the previous year.
