The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in its latest report has showed that India's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) commitments declined by 10.81% to $5644.38 million in April 2026 as against $6,328.51 million in April 2025, as lower loan and guarantee commitments outweighed a sharp rise in outbound equity investments by Indian companies.
In March 2026, OFDI commitments stood at $5084.78 million. According to the report, equity commitments jumped 71.11% to $3368.80 million in April 2026, from $1,968.75 million in April 2025. They were also 108.87% higher than $1612.88 million equity commitments recorded in March 2026.
The report further noted that loan commitments stood at $517.75 million in April 2026, 53.81% down from $1,121.01 million in April 2025. Besides, guarantees issued also decreased sharply by 45.72% to $1757.84 million in April 2026 from $3,238.75 million in April 2025.
