Fdi in india: This news is going to be relaxed in terms of Indian economy, when for the first time in four years, foreign direct investment in the country has reached a record level. A few days ago, American agency S&P Global upgraded India’s rating. Along with this, the government has taken several important steps to boost the economy. Meanwhile, according to data released by RBI on Wednesday, the average FDI in the country has increased to $ 11.11 billion in the country for the first time in four years.
FDI record level
This is the highest ever since the average $ 12.32 billion FDI in July 2021. While the FDI was $ 9.57 billion in June a month ago, the FDI figure in July 2024 was $ 5.54 billion, which was almost half of this year’s July.
FDI comes from Singapore the most, followed by the Netherlands, Mauritius, US and UAE. About three fourths of the total FDI from these countries comes to India. Manufacturing and services sectors, including communications, computer and business services, are the most FDIs coming.
Importance of FDI
Significantly, FDI is an important indicator towards telling the health of the economy of any country and the restoration of foreign investors. Earlier, S&P had upgraded India’s rating from BBB to BBB on 14 August. A day later, PM Modi announced several economic reforms on August 15 to increase the pace of domestic economy. One of these announcements was the announcement of GST rates, which has been made effective on Monday earlier this week.
Even though there is a period of uncertainties in global trade, policy and financial markets during FY 2025-26, FDI figures are continuously increasing. Net FDI had increased to $ 10.75 billion during the first four months of the current financial year, which is three times more than the same period a year ago. At the same time, the average FDI has increased by 33 percent to 37.71 billion dollars. On the other hand, Indian companies’ direct investment abroad has increased by 44 percent to $ 10.67 billion.
