Foreign Investment

India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has seen significant growth in the last few years. 2020, in particular, has been a big year for FDI in India, with a total inflow of US $58.3 billion between April and November. In November alone, we have seen investments of as much as US $10.15 billion, an upsurge of 81% from US $5.6 billion in November 2019. The future of FDI in India is bright, and set to only grow in the years to come.
