It doesn't matter as long as India has the capacity to pay for it. India's revenue collection is at about 20.1% of its GDP vs Indonesia's 13.56%.
Its forex reserves ($600 billion) are about 5 times Indonesia's ($134 billion). Its external debt is $620 billion vs nearly $400 billion of Indonesia. As long as India's debt denominated in Indian rupees and we are managing our currency well vis a vis dollar, we are actually better than Indonesia in terms of debt.

Yep, but total investment for the last 9 months are growing at 21 percent YoY. Domestic Investment is about 48 % of total investment while the rest is FDI.
Goto, our biggest technology company is also in the path of profitability after able to cut loss about half in Q3 2023.
Indonesia is the only country in ASEAN where its PMI have been in continously expansive mode for quite long term. In latest PMI data, only Indonesia which PMI is in expansive compared to other ASEAN countries ( Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Piliphine, and Thailand)
It will likely be tight race between Indonesia and India for long term.

As of now, there is no comparison. India's manufacturing and services PMI has been at high 50's for the past year where as Indonesia a very low 50's. There's no comparison there.

How does it matter? India's services exports again covered the deficit to an extent and the rest will be covered by remittances and foreign investment. As long as we are balancing the deficit with something else, even the imports are good. It explains the strength of an economy and reflects in the consumption.Tit for tat
