FDI declines by 38% to $2.91 billion in September

04 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India has declined by about 38 percent on y-o-y basis to $2.91 billion in September as compared to $4.47 billion in the same month of previous year. During the April-September period of 2013-14 fiscal, FDI has dipped by 11 percent to $11.37 billion, from $12.84 billion in the corresponding period of last year.

The sectors like services, telecom and metallurgical industries have reported sharp contraction in FDI inflow during the first half of current fiscal. FDI in services, telecom and metallurgical industries declined to $1.32 billion, $32 million and $240 million during April-September this fiscal as compared to $3.04 billion, $43 million and $685 million in the same period of previous year.

FDI is considered crucial for the economic development of a country. Despite the government's various efforts to increase FDI, foreign investments in April-September period of 2013-14 have declined, which reflects the need to take more measures to improve the business environment in the country. Meanwhile, in order to attract maximum FDI into the country, the government has been liberalizing the foreign investment policy. The government has relaxed FDI norms in around 12 sectors, which include telecom, tea, pension and petroleum and natural gas. India would require around $1 trillion in the 12th five-year plan (2012-2017), to overhaul its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth.
