Amid government efforts to attract investment in the various sector, the quality of foreign direct investment (FDI) coming into the country has improved substantially, according to Reserve Bank of India data. Much of these FDI flows in the country have surged in the September 2014-November 2015 period after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Make in India campaign and bettered portfolio inflows during the preceding 15 months.
Modi's Make in India initiative is aimed at turning the country into a global manufacturing hub to generate jobs, raise incomes and drive growth. The government has been seeking to drum up investment as part of this effort. India's growth is being driven by public spending and consumption with private investment yet to kick in substantially.
Gross FDI inflows amounted to $62.6 billion, 31% higher than $47.6 billion in the preceding 15 months. This is more than triple the amount of net portfolio inflows of $14.3 billion in the same period. Though a sizeable amount is estimated to have gone to the manufacturing sector, including consumer goods and food processing, among others, a section of the market feels that a portion of the FDI inflows could have come through the private equity route.
