FDI increases by 25% to $17.35 billion during April-October FY15

30 Dec 2014 Evaluate

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India during the April-October FY15 grew by 25% to $17.35 billion from $13.82 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.

Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has asserted that improvement in the macroeconomic situation and investor sentiment on account of a series of steps taken by the new government has helped to attract higher foreign investments. Further, the minister added that in order to boost FDI, the government  has been taking several steps to cut red tape and rationalise existing rules and increased use of IT to make governance effective and user friendly.

During FY14, FDI increased by 8% to $24.29 from $22.42 billion recorded in the FY13. FDI is considered crucial for India, which requires 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. However, to attract maximum FDI into the country, the government has been liberalizing the foreign investment policy. Recently, the government has eased the FDI norms in insurance sector. 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 bring FDI worth billions of dollars into the country.
