Summary:

Union Minister Piyush Goyal dismissed concerns about declining FDI, asserting that India’s inflows remain strong despite fluctuations caused by global interest rate changes. India received ₹64 lakh crore (US$748.78 billion) in FDI between FY14 and FY25 - a 143% increase from FY14. In FY25 alone, inflows reached ₹6.93 lakh crore (US$81.04 billion), the highest in the past three years. The number of FDI source countries also rose from 89 to 112, reflecting India’s growing global appeal as an investment destination.

During his official visit to Switzerland, Mr. Goyal stated that the government remains open to suggestions and is committed to enhancing FDI. Despite a 24.5% year-on-year decline in Q4 FY25, overall FDI for the year increased by 14% from ₹6.10 lakh crore in FY23. Singapore led the contributions, followed by the United States and Mauritius. Key sectors attracting inflows included services, trade, telecommunications, and others. Goyal emphasized that India has returned to a growth path in FDI, adapting proactively to global economic trends.
