Every so often we get a glimpse into a generational growth story that years later investors question how they ever missed.
Oh, there’s a reason the investment herd failed to capitalize on it, dear reader; those signs were largely ignored because they weren’t at the top of the headlines until it was too late.
Earlier this week, I told you that a tectonic growth shift was taking place for India. For some, the transition that massive companies like Apple are making away from China and into India is a huge green flag waving back and forth.
But it’s not enough to simply follow the footsteps of Tim Cook and his biggest suppliers like Foxconn — everyone’s doing it!
From Boeing’s deal last March to Samsung and Nokia accelerating their manufacturing operations in India, companies are flocking away from China and creating a new global growth hub in the process.
To give you an idea of just how much growth we’re talking about here, just consider that according to the IMF, the U.S. economy is expected to grow by less than 2% this year; meanwhile, China’s economy is projected to double that growth rate.
While all eyes are razor-focused on the stagnant growth from the two largest economies, India’s explosive growth is leaving them in the dust. In fact, India’s expected 6.5% growth rate has helped the country overtake Japan as the fourth-largest economy in the world.
Of course, you know as well as I do that it’s only a short matter of time before India leapfrogs Germany to seize the third-place spot, too.
Thanks to Germany’s disastrous energy policies, its economy has been decimated over the last decades, with GDP growth coming in well under 1% this year. Germany’s aggressive shift toward renewable energy and collapse of its coal and nuclear power generating capacity has sent electricity prices through the roof and ultimately sent its manufacturing sector into an irreversible death spiral.
But the real story here isn't just about smartphones or software engineers.

The real story is what this means for India's broader economy — and specifically for individual investors like us that recognize this opportunity for what it really is.
And while analysts are busy dissecting fiscal policy and labor market reforms, there's one metric investors should be watching very closely: Energy.
If the 1990s belonged to China, the 2030s may very well belong to India.
As manufacturing surges and tech campuses spread across the Indian landscape, India's thirst for energy is going to spike fast. This means demand for reliable baseload power like oil and natural gas is going to see an upswing as factories, logistics hubs, and transport fleets expand.
This isn't just conjecture; it's baked into every modern industrial expansion we've ever seen.
Think about it…
China's rise to a global superpower was powered by coal and oil.
However, India's will be a hybrid story. Yes, renewables will play a part, but oil and gas will be the backbone of industrial-scale energy needs. Powering manufacturing zones, keeping supply chains humming, fueling expanded trucking and shipping — these are oil- and gas-heavy operations.
We already know that the country is taking over the crown as the single largest source of global oil demand growth by the end of this decade.
So what do we do to capitalize on this situation?
Well, forget the headlines that obsess over short-term policy moves.
Instead, focus on structural drivers — and India's manufacturing renaissance is exactly that.
Then, understand that energy is the quiet beneficiary of this story. As multi-nationals pour billions into Indian infrastructure, the country's energy grid and fuel markets will need to scale up dramatically.
That means Indian refiners, LNG importers, pipeline operators, and even global oil majors with exposure to South Asia are about to see a surge in relevance.
It’s about time, too. And you can bet India’s thirst for natural gas follows suit. This year alone, India is bringing five new LNG terminals online, with another four coming next year. In total, the country is successfully boosting its LNG import infrastructure by 85%.
What’s interesting is that President Trump’s timing for more trade deals is impeccable right now. Just as Qatar’s LNG exports to India are hitting a three-year low, U.S. LNG is starting to fill the gap.
Not only are we already India’s second-largest source for LNG, but Indian companies like GAIL are pouring investment dollars into the U.S. to secure future supply.
We're in the early innings of a generational shift — a realignment of manufacturing, capital, and political leverage from one Asian giant to another.
India is rising, and unlike previous cycles, this isn't just hope… it's happening now.
Stay tuned.
