First Half of FY 2024-25 Sees a 26% Increase to $42.1 Billion
India’s foreign direct investment (FDI) journey reached a historic milestone in 2024, with total gross inflows crossing the $1 trillion mark since April 2000. This achievement underscores the country’s emergence as a leading global investment destination, with its dynamic economy attracting a 26% surge in FDI to $42.1 billion during the first half of FY 2024-25 alone.
This growth has been fueled by strategic reforms, visionary initiatives, and the government’s relentless focus on creating a conducive investment climate. Policies like “Make in India,” the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and liberalized sectoral frameworks have played pivotal roles in attracting global capital. FDI has transformed India’s economic landscape by providing vital non-debt financial resources, fostering innovation through technology transfers, and creating millions of jobs across diverse sectors.
From April 2014 to September 2024, FDI inflows amounted to a staggering $709.84 billion, making up nearly 69% of the total FDI received since 2000. These figures reflect a sharp acceleration in investment inflows, with India positioning itself as a cornerstone of global economic activity.
The surge in FDI is a testament to India’s robust economic policies, competitive advantages, and alignment with international investment trends. As global companies increasingly view India as a strategic hub for growth and expansion, the country’s FDI narrative becomes a blueprint for emerging economies worldwide.
