COMPLETE DETAILS REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF UNCTD IN INDIA.

1. UNCTAD and Indian MNEs
 The rise of new global contender MNEs from large emerging
markets (EMs) is leading to significant structural transformation
of global industries, international institutions, and global power
(re)arrangement.
 Outward FDI undertaken by these Emerging Markets (EMs)
multinational enterprises (MNEs) is growing fast as they are on a
buying spree of assets and companies abroad.
 The share of EMs in global FDI outflows increased to 19% in
2008 and further to 25% in 2009 (UNCTAD, 2010).
 Among relatively large EMs, India’s annual compound growth of
176% during 2000-2008 had been unprecedented, ahead of its
counterparts such as China (165%), Brazil (123%), and Russia
(151%), although from a relatively lower base (UNCTAD, 2010).

4. Contd...
 India’s outward FDI position is much more active than
its comparator economy China, which received about
$500 billion in inward FDI before its firms began to
substantially invest abroad and maintained its inward
FDI five times its outward FDI as late as 2007 –
substantial inward FDI and outward FDI of India started
almost at the same time and India’s total outward FDI
(e.g., $25 billion in 2007) is almost as large as total
inward FDI (e.g., $17 billion in 2007).

5. India leads regional foreign
direct investment – UNCTAD
 Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to South Asia
rose to $41 billion in 2014, primarily owing to good
performance by India, according to UNCTAD's World
Investment Report 2015. FDI inflows to the country
surged by 22 per cent to about $34 billion.
 FDI inflows to India are likely to maintain an upward
trend in 2015 as economic recovery gains ground, In
terms of the sectoral composition of FDI inflows,
manufacturing is likely to gain strength, as policy
efforts to revitalise the industrial sector are sustained,
including, for example, the "Make in India" initiative
launched in mid-2014.

6.  The automotive industry is a key part of the Indian economy and has
been identified as one of the key industries in which India has the
potential of becoming a world leader. According to data from the
Indian government, accumulated FDI inflows to the automotive
industry from April 2000 to November 2014 amounted to $11.4
billion.
 The country accounted for the majority of Greenfield investment
projects announced by global automakers and first-tier parts
suppliers in South Asia during 2013–2014, including 12 projects
above $100 million.
 Inward FDI has led to the emergence of a number of industrial
clusters in India, including those in the National Capital Region
(Delhi-Gurgaon-Faridabad) in the north, Maharashtra State
(Mumbai-Nasik-Aurangabad) in the west, and Tamil Nadu State
(Chennai-Bangalore-Hosur) in the south).
 Though considerable differences exist in the patterns of the
formation of these clusters, FDI can play an important catalytic role.

7. FDI flows into India nearly doubled
in 2015: UNCTAD
 Foreign Direct Investment flows into India nearly doubled in
2015 while the US emerged as the top host country for FDI last
year, according to UN's trade agency.
 Global FDI flows "unexpectedly" increased significantly by 36%,
according to the annual report of the United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development released.
 India's FDI investment increased from $33.9 billion to $59.4
billion which marks a 75% increase while green field investments
have increased from $25.4 billion to $64 billion recording an
increase of 152%, the report said.
