Story summary

Abu Dhabi's Mubadala, a $385 billion investment fund, sees India as increasingly vital amid global fragmentation, according to Waleed Al Muhairi, Deputy Group CEO of Mubadala, speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi this week. Al Muhairi highlighted that India's large market size and "massive infrastructure program" are driving tens of billions of dollars in investment into the world’s most populous country. Despite Asia-Pacific making up only 13% of Mubadala’s portfolio (compared to 44% for North America), UAE-India trade has topped $100 billion for a second straight year, and both countries aim to double that figure by 2032.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
