FDI rises by 8% to $2.15 billion in January’13

21 Mar 2013 Evaluate

Snapping the previous two months of declining trend, the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India grew by 8 percent to $2.15 billion in January against the $2 billion in the same month of the previous year. However, in the April-January period of the current fiscal, FDI declined by 39 percent to $19.10 billion from $31.28 billion recorded in previous fiscal mainly due to the global economic uncertainties.

During the April-January period of the current fiscal, the sectors which have received large FDI inflows include services ($4.66 billion), hotel and tourism ($3.19 billion), metallurgical ($1.38 billion), construction ($1.20 billion) and Pharmaceuticals ($1 billion). On country wise, India received maximum FDI from Mauritius ($8.17 billion), followed by Japan ($1.69 billion), Singapore ($1.82 billion), Netherlands ($1.51 billion) and the UK ($1.04 billion).

Meanwhile, FDI from Mauritius to India is the highest in comparison with all the other countries that invest in India due to the special treatment of tax that is given in India to the investments that come through Mauritius.

The Indian government has realized the fact that foreign direct investment plays a very crucial role in boosting the country's economy by developing the infrastructure, generating new jobs, transfer of technology, and increasing productivity. Thus, the government liberalized its economic policies in order to use foreign direct investment as a developmental tool.
