FDI scales down by 20% to $2.26 billion in August

31 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Disappointing the tactical measures taken by the government to garner more foreign investments for triggering financial health of the nation, the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion has reported that the foreign direct investment (FDI) in India has dipped by 20% to $2.26 billion in the month of August with respect to same month last year’s $2.83 billion worth foreign inflows, while in July month foreign investments were about 60%.

However, the centre has expressed hopes that relaxation of investment caps in FDI in multi- brand retail and civil aviation would aid in garnering more investments to the country in the coming months. It also affirmed the significance of foreign investments as India needs fund above $1 trillion over the next five years for its infrastructure developments in sector like ports, airports and highways.

The pummeled foreign inflows are likely to weigh on the country's balance of payments (BoP) and could also impact on rupee. The major shares of FDI inflows in the month has reached the sectors like services with $2.28 billion, automobile about $617 million, for construction $601 million and metallurgical by about $595 million.

The major contributors to FDI in India are Mauritius with $2.53 billion, Japan with $1.16 billion, the Netherlands with $923 million, the UK with $570 million and Singapore with $961 million. While the foreign inflows for the financial year in 2011-12 was about $36.50 billion, with respect to 2010-11’s $19.42 billion and 2009-10’s $25.83 billion.
