Abstract

Foreign Direct Investment serves as the foundation for the economic progress of many nations. It involves foreign capital bridging the gap between domestic savings and investment, contributing to the convergence of diverse economic aspects within a country. Through FDI, capital is invested across sectors such as service, manufacturing, transport, technology, productivity, and hospitality, playing a crucial role in India's economic development. Various factors, including economic stability, regulatory environment, sectoral policies, political stability, and infrastructure, influence FDI. Despite both merits and demerits, Indian FDI is noteworthy. This study primarily focuses on analyzing the trends and patterns of FDI inflow into India, aiming to provide an overview of FDI in India. The study also concentrates on identifying the determinants of FDI and understanding the necessity for FDI in India, incorporating sector-wise and year-wise analyses of FDI in the country.
