India sees 73% surge in FDI Inflow: UNCTAD

27 Jan 2026 Evaluate

The Global Investment Trends Monitor, released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has stated that India's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have increased by 73%, reaching $47 billion in 2025. This growth was primarily driven by large investments in services - including finance, IT, and R&D – along with manufacturing, supported by policies designed to integrate India into global supply chains. 

UNCTAD said FDI inflows to China declined for the third consecutive year, falling by 8 per cent to an estimated $107.5 billion. Global FDI inflows increased by 14% in 2025, reaching an estimated $1.6 trillion. It noted that data centres played a significant role in FDI trend in 2025, with a $125 billion increase in greenfield announcements and $30 billion in international project finance. The bulk of the growth was thus through greenfield investment, contrasting with the traditionally more important role of international project finance within the telecommunications sector. 

It further said India was among the top 10 major recipients of data centre investments in 2025 and added that foreign investment in data centres is concentrated in a handful of countries. France, ranked number 1, the United States (2) and the Republic of Korea (3) led as host countries, while emerging markets such as Brazil (4), India (7), and Malaysia (9) also attracted major projects. Total greenfield investment in data centres surpassed $270 billion, representing more than one-fifth of all investment projects. The leading host countries for these investments were France, the United States, and the Republic of Korea. Notably, emerging markets such as Brazil, Thailand, India, and Malaysia also ranked among the top ten hosts of data centre projects.
