Claim
Japan will invest approximately several lakh crore rupees in India over the next 10 years, and the number of Japanese companies operating in India will be doubled.
“जापान अगले 10 वर्षों में भारत में लगभग ₹ लाख करोड़ निवेश करेगा और भारत में काम कर रही जापानी कंपनियों की संख्या भी अब दुगनी कर दी जाएगी।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
At the India-Japan Annual Summit held around the broadcast date (2026-07-02), Prime Ministers Modi and Takaichi announced a roadmap to mobilise 10 trillion yen (~₹5.9 lakh crore / $68 billion) of Japanese investment in India over the next 10 years, together with a shared objective of doubling the number of Japanese companies operating in India over the coming decade. Both parts of the anchor's claim match these announcements; the rupee figure in the transcript is garbled ('₹ लाख करोड़') but the order of magnitude implied (several lakh crore) is consistent. Minor caveat: these are announced targets/objectives, not completed investments, and the doubling of companies is a decade-long goal rather than an immediate action.
