The European Council on Foreign Relations published on 29 July 2016 an analysis titled "India and China: A Scramble for Africa?" by Sunaina Kumar and Angela Stanzel.
The authors conclude that China's pre-eminent role in Africa has come to be challenged, at least in some areas, since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in India.

China-India Competition in Africa
Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster, published a commentary on 11 September 2015 titled "India's Modi Sets Sights on Africa" by Gabriel Dominguez.
India will host from 26 to 30 October the India-Africa Forum Summit for representatives from all 54 African countries. This is the third summit since the series began in 2008. Coincidentally, it takes place less than two months before China's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in South Africa. India's summit may offer some evidence as to how seriously African leaders are looking for alternatives to Beijing's investment model, especially in the wake of the economic downturn in China.

India Postpones Summit with Africa
India has postponed, due to the Ebola crisis, the third India-Africa Forum Summit scheduled to take place in New Delhi in December 2014. The Diplomat published on 11 December 2014 a commentary titled "India's Big African Opportunity" by Tim Steinecke, a doctoral candidate at the University of St. Andrews and visiting fellow at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi.
The author concludes that the success of the next India-Africa Forum Summit as well as the future of India-Africa relations not only depends on India's ability to develop an attractive and sustainable approach to Africa, but also on the willingness of African leaders to look beyond Beijing when partnering with foreign investors.
