Kamal Nath says India is best investment hub

India is the world's best investment destination and offers excellent potential for partnerships
with its industry to tap unexplored markets in Asia and Africa, Commerce Minister Kamal Nath
said here Tuesday.

"The Indian economy is very well suited to small and medium American companies which may
have difficulty in operating in the saturated western markets," he told US entrepreneurs at the
Focus India Show.

"With vast technical and managerial skills, Indian and American small and medium enterprises
can join hands, both as complementary and supplementary partners, to cater to the vast Indian
market and the untapped markets in Asia and Africa."

Elaborating on the strengths of India as an investment destination, Kamal Nath underlined that
the country had emerged as an across-the-board, low-cost base that is attractive enough for
multinationals to relocate in the country.

"More than one hundred of the Fortune 500 companies have a presence in India, as compared to
only 33 in China. But it is not the Fortune 500 Companies that I have come to Chicago to seek,"
he said.

"Chicago is one of the most important economic centres in the Midwest farm belt. There are a
huge number of small and medium enterprises here. You have strengths in agriculture and
industry. The potential for synergies is tremendous."

The minister also sought to dispel the impression that India was lagging behind in
manufacturing.
"This is far from the truth. Of course, we are good in services and business process outsourcing,
but that does not mean that we lag behind in manufacturing skills."

India, he added, can match the best in the world in areas like auto components, chemicals,
apparels, pharmaceuticals and jewellery. More than a dozen Indian companies are among the top
five global producers in their product categories.

The Focus India Show Sep 27-29 has been jointly organised by the Federation of Indian
Chambers of Commerce and Industry and the Indian government.
