Foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to direct investment into production in another country. FDI is generally preferred over other forms of external financing as it is non-debt creating and returns depend on project performance. India permits FDI through various routes like automatic approval, government approval, or Cabinet Committee approval depending on the sector and investment amount. The top sectors to receive FDI in India are services, construction, and telecommunications. Mauritius, Singapore, and the United States are the top countries investing in India, with Mauritius being the largest source of FDI.

20. CONCLUSION
• A large number of changes were introduced in the country after LPG
era after 1991.
• A structural breakthrough in the volume of the FDI inflows into the
economy maintained a fluctuating and unsteady trend during
reform period.
• More than 50 per cent of the total FDI inflows received in India
come from Mauritius, Singapore and the USA.
• The main reason for higher investment from Mauritius was that
the fact that India entered into a double taxation avoidance
agreement (DTAA) with Mauritius were protected from taxation in
India.
• The service sector had received the larger proportion followed by
computer software and hardware sector and then
telecommunication sector
