In FY 2024–25, India achieved a record high in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), securing a total of $81.04 billion. This represents a 14% increase from the previous fiscal year, highlighting India's growing appeal as a global investment destination. The surge was largely fueled by increased investments in the services and manufacturing sectors, with services alone seeing a 40.77% rise in FDI equity inflow. Key reforms in FDI policy, sector liberalization, and consistent economic growth have contributed to this milestone. The inflows were also geographically diverse, with states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi leading the chart, and countries like Singapore, Mauritius, and the U.S. being top contributors.
