The government’s latest data has showed that foreign direct investment (FDI) into India fell marginally by 1.4 per cent to $10.67 billion (about Rs 76,800 crore) during October-December period of 2019-20, as compared to FDI inflows of $10.82 billion during October-December of 2018-19. Besides, during July-September period of the current financial year FDI inflows stood at $9.77 billion. FDI is important as the country requires major investments to overhaul its infrastructure sector to boost growth.

According to the data, foreign investments into the country grew 10 per cent to $36.76 billion during April-December period 2019-20 as against $33.49 billion in the same period of 2018-19. Sectors which attracted maximum foreign inflows during the nine month period include services ($6.52 billion), computer software and hardware ($6.35 billion), telecommunications ($4.29 billion), automobile ($2.50 billion) and trading ($3.52 billion).

Country wise, Singapore continued to be the largest source of FDI in India during April-December period of the current financial year with $11.65 billion investments. It was followed by Mauritius ($7.45 billion), the Netherlands ($3.53 billion), Japan ($2.80 billion) and the US ($2.79 billion).
