FDI in India likely to grow at higher rate during 2015

29 Dec 2014 Evaluate

With the relaxation of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) norms in defence, railways and insurance sectors, the government is expecting a big surge in FDI inflow in the country during the next year. Showing its commitment to fast-track the reform process, a Union Cabinet committee, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved promulgation of the ordinance on Insurance Bill and allowing 100 per cent FDI in medical devices sector under the automatic route. 

The government is of the view that hiking of the foreign investment cap in the insurance sector to 49 per cent will result in capital inflow of $6-8 billion. To encourage manufacturing of equipments, including diagnostic kits and other devices, the government also allowed 100 percent FDI under automatic route in medical devices sector. Besides, the government’s 'Make in India' programme, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is another big-ticket reform that the government expects the foreign investors to take to bring billions worth dollars of FDI into the country.

FDI during the April-September FY15 increased by 15% y-o-y to $14.47 billion from $12.59 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal. Country wise, maximum FDI during the reported period was received form Mauritius with $4.19 billion followed by Singapore ($2.41 billion), Netherlands ($1.97 billion), the US ($1.19 million), Japan ($937 million) and UK ($842 million).  During FY14, FDI increased by 8% to $24.29 billion from $22.42 billion recorded in the FY13. India would require around $1 trillion in the 12th five year plan (2012-2017) to overhaul its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth.
