2 Investment Climate
The decade (2004-13) gone by would be considered
as a golden era for FDI in India. As per Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (“DIPP”), between years
2000-13, India attracted cumulative FDI infow of USD
326 billion (INR 15.57 trillion)

and this represented
a growth rate of 18.4% on a Compound Annual
Growth Rate (“CAGR”) basis. Almost 67% of FDI was
constituted of equity infows while the rest was through
re-invested earnings capital. In FY13/14, FDI infows
stood at USD 24.3 billion (INR 1,409 billion) as compared
to FDI infows of USD 22.4 billion (INR 1,219 billion)
during FY12/13.
Post the liberalization impetus of the 1990s, India’s
reserves swelled from a meagre USD 5.8 billion (March
1991
11
) to a comfortable USD 292.24 billion (INR 18.16
trillion) (January 2014). However there is still considerable
scope to expand FDI.
According to DIPP, the highest FDI infow in India
includes investors from Mauritius, Singapore, United
Kingdom, Japan, United States of America, Netherlands,
Cyprus, Germany, France and United Arab Emirates.
These top 10 countries almost account for 85% total
country’s cumulative FDI equity infows of USD 217.7
billion (INR 10.44 trillion)

were the top investing countries in India accounting for
35%, 12%, and 10%, respectively in the cumulative total
FDI infows since April 2000-March 2014.
