FDI in Indian services sector declines by 62% to $1.36 billion during April-October’ 2013

16 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country’s services sector has declined by about 62 percent to $1.36 billion year-on-year during April-October period of 2013 as compared to $3.6 billion during same period of previous year amid rising concerns over the political uncertainty like formation of new government as sectors such as banking need necessary reforms. Indian services sector, which includes banking, insurance, outsourcing, R&D, courier and technology testing, represent around 60% share in the country’s GDP. During the 2012-13, foreign investment in the service sector fell by 7 percent to $ 4.83 billion from $5.21 billion in 2011-12.

Owing to the drop in the foreign investment in service sector, overall foreign inflows in the country have come down to $12.6 billion during the seven months of the current fiscal as against $14.78 billion in the corresponding period of previous fiscal.

FDI is considered crucial for the economic development of a country. Despite the government's various efforts to increase FDI, foreign investments in the country have been 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 relaxed foreign investment policy in various sectors including telecom, tea, pension and petroleum and natural gas among others. During the 12th five-year plan (2012-2017), India would require around $1 trillion in order to overhaul its infrastructure sector such as ports, airports and highways to boost growth.
