Krafton will invest another $250 million in India over the next three to four years, extending beyond games into artificial intelligence, robotics and deep technology. The commitment was announced after chairman Byung Gyu Chang met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on 4 September.
The South Korean company has put more than $250 million into India since 2021, so the new pledge takes its total stated commitment past $500 million. It is separate from the $670 million India growth fund Krafton launched with Naver and Mirae Asset in December 2025, to which it said it would contribute about $137 million at first close.
India is among Krafton's most important markets by users. Battlegrounds Mobile India, the localised version of PUBG Mobile it launched in 2021, has passed 260 million downloads, and a lighter version, BGMI Lite, is due by the end of 2026.
