FDI inflows remain strong despite global volatility: Piyush Goyal

Joyl told reporters: “There is no trend for a decrease. Periodic changes are related to global interest rate courses. When the bond returns abroad rise, capital is temporarily flowing, but we see money returning to India,” Joyl told reporters.

During the past fiscal year, foreign direct investment grew 14 % compared to 2023-24 ($ 71.3 billion). Arrows and reintegors profits and other capital have prompted together the total flows to 81.04 billion US dollars.

Over the past eleven years (2014-25), India has received the cumulative foreign direct investment of $ 748.78 billion-by 143 % jump over 11 years (2003-14), which witnessed 308.38 billion US dollars. The number of countries of the foreign direct investment source increased from 89 in 2013-14 to 112 in 2024-25, confirming the growing global call to India.

Singapore led direct foreign investment flows in 2024-1025 at $ 14.94 billion, followed by the United States ($ 5.45 billion), Mauritius ($ 3.73 billion), the Netherlands ($ 4.62 billion), and the American state ($ 3.12 billion). Other higher sources included Japan, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Kayman Islands.

Sectors such as services, communications, trade, cars, unconventional energy, chemicals and construction development have attracted the highest investments.

“We are a listening government – open to suggestions and is always ready to adopt new measures to enhance foreign direct investment flows,” Joyl said.
