Foreign direct investment (FDI) involves a company from one country making a direct investment into business operations in another country. FDI began in India in 1991 under economic reforms. India ranked second globally for FDI in 2010 and is expected to remain among the top five destinations through 2014, with major investing countries including Mauritius, Singapore, the UK, Japan, and the US. FDI in India has grown, increasing about 35% in the first half of 2013 alone. India encourages FDI to stimulate economic activity and employment while bringing best practices, though it may also face more competition challenging local businesses. Overall India is seen as an attractive nation for further investment and FDI growth.

9. How has it been growing? - 2

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in
India has increased by about 35 per
cent to $13.6 billion during the first half
of 2013 with merger and acquisitions
accounting for the bulk of
inflows, according to a report by the
United Nations Conference on Trade
and Development (UNCTAD).

10. Why will India want to encourage
FDI?

India now with consistent growth
performance and abundant highskilled affordable manpower provides
enormous opportunity for investment
both domestic and foreign. Foreign
direct investment (FDI) causes a flow
of money into the economies which
stimulates economic
activity, increases employment and
induces the long run aggregate supply
and brings in best practices.

11. Why should India not encourage
it?



Investment of a foreign company with its
new technologies and products has
several disadvantages for local
businesses.
New products arriving at lower prices
create competition and force local
businesses to lower their prices and
reorganize their operations in terms of
costs.
Local businesses may lose their
customers or even their business
relations with other companies as they
start cooperating with the new foreign
one

12. Where are we heading?

In view of the above analysis, I believe that
India will be one of the most attractive
nation to invest in.
