The domestic manager focused on banks, utilities, pharmaceuticals and, cautiously, oil refiners, while Abu Dhabi’s funds poured roughly $1.7 billion into Indian banks, airports, renewable‑energy projects, healthcare, digital platforms and manufacturing, more than double the amount invested a year earlier. A week later, the Securities and Exchange Board of India reported a rise in unclaimed mutual‑fund dividends, with balances climbing 15.7 % to Rs 2,689 crore for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
