India remains very attractive destination for global investments, says Mauritius Financial Services Minister
Mauritius' Financial Services Minister Jyoti Jeetun reaffirmed India's status as a top investment destination, citing strong economic fundamentals. She noted that recent amendments to the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement have resolved investor concerns regarding capital flows.
Why it matters
Mauritius is a critical source of FDI for India, and the stability of this tax treaty is essential for maintaining foreign capital inflows into the Indian economy.
India remains a very attractive destination for global investments and its economic fundamentals form the basis for strong investor confidence, Jyoti Jeetun, the Minister of Financial Services and Economic Planning of Mauritius told The Hindu in an interview.
Ms. Jeetun added that the amended Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between the two countries, which was recently ratified by the Mauritian Cabinet, would ensure that genuine and constructive investments flow from Mauritius to India.
She also said that whatever concerns investors had with the amendments to the DTAA have now been ironed out.
Mauritius has historically been a major source of investments into India. It accounted for about $6.6 billion or 11.2% of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) that entered India in 2025-26, the second-highest that year after Singapore, according to data from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
