Companies with Indian capital have shown interest in coming to Peru to invest in various sectors, especially in infrastructure and railway connectivity.
This was confirmed by
Rohit Rao, Chairman of the Indian Chamber of Commerce in Peru (Incham), in an interview with Andina News Agency.
"India is interested in investing in Peru, especially in connectivity. Serious meetings are already taking place with the Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) so that the arrival (of Indian companies and railways) can happen quickly," he stated.
"Once the FTA is signed, the giant Indian market will open up for all Peruvians. This will happen very quickly, but for that, we also need connectivity, so that a producer from Huancavelica or Mollendo (Arequipa region) can easily sell their products to India," he said.
The business leader noted that the most attractive sectors for Indian companies would be health, textiles, agro-exports, mining, and metalworking.
"We are waiting for the FTA to be signed so that our companies can come to set up in Peru, manufacture alongside Peruvian entrepreneurs, and even export with them. We hope to participate very soon," Rohit Rao said.
"Peru is a great investment destination, and we believe our countries are very similar, so we should aim to work together," he emphasized.
In turn, Raman Singla, General Manager of the Indian company Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), stated that collaboration between the two nations could lead to greater economic growth.
"We would like to grow alongside Peru. We are seeking opportunities to develop infrastructure in this country," the Indian railway company representative said at the 4th Meeting of Regional and Binational Chambers of Commerce, titled "The Future on Rails: Perspectives from India for Peru."
