Japanese Megabanks Focus On India In Hunt For Higher Returns

India's economy, forecast to grow 6.2% in 2025 and 6.3% in 2026 as per the International Monetary Fund, has attracted investments from the Japanese megabanks into its nonbanking industry in recent years as the commercial banking sector remains strictly regulated.
