Apart from being a critical driver of economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI) is a major source of non-debt financial resource for the economic development of India. Foreign companies invest in India to take advantage of relatively lower wages, special investment privileges such as tax exemptions, etc. For a country like India where foreign investments are being made, it also means achieving technical know-how and generating production and level of employment. Therefore, India has gained favour among investors as attractive investment destination. The World Bank has also stated that the private investments in India is expected to grow by 8.8 per cent in FY 2018-19 to overtake private consumption growth of 7.4 per cent, and thereby drive the growth in India's gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 2018-19. In this paper an effort has been made to develop an understanding of the investment decisions, trading strategies and behaviour of FDI in Indian market. This research is b...

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a very important role in the development of the nation. It is very much vital in the case of underdeveloped and developing countries. A typical characteristic of these developing and underdeveloped economies is the fact that these economies do not have the needed level of savings and income in order to meet the required level of investment needed to sustain the growth of the economy. In such cases, foreign direct investment plays an important role of bridging the gap between the available resources or funds and the required resources or funds. It plays an important role in the long-term development of a country not only as a source of capital but also for enhancing competitiveness of the domestic economy through transfer of technology, strengthening infrastructure, raising productivity and generating new employment opportunities. In India, FDI is considered as a developmental tool, which helps in achieving self-reliance in various sectors and in overall development of the economy. India after liberalizing and globalizing the economy to the outside world in 1991, there was a massive increase in the flow of foreign direct investment. This paper analyses FDI inflow into the country during the Post Liberalization period. Further, the trends of FDI inflow into the country are projected for a period of five years from 2010-11 to 2014-15 using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) forecasting technique. The paper tries to examine the various set of factors which influence the flow of FDI Identifying the causes for low inflow and suggestive remedial measures to increase the flow of FDI in India with that of other developing nations in the world.

In the last two decades world has seen an extensive inflow of FDI or foreign direct investment into developing countries. More and more developing countries are competing with each other to attract this investment. Restrictions which were earlier in place on these investments are now being removed as the importance of FDI is being realized.

This paper analyses FDI inflow in India during the Post Liberalization period. Moreover, the trends of FDI inflow into the country are projected for a period of four years from 2016-2020 using Moving Average Model (MA) forecasting technique and trend analysis. The paper examines the various factors which influence or affect the flow of FDI into the country and suggestive measures to increase the flow of FDI in India and juxtapose the results with that of other developing nations in the world.

Trend of FDI in India and Its Impact on Economic Growth, 2014

Foreign investments are the indispensable factors that help in boosting the growth of Indian economy. With the introduction of liberalisation policy under the finance ministry of Dr. Manmohan Singh in 1991 & with further few policy reforms, India has witnessed a change in the flow and direction of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country. This paper has made an attempt to analyse the trend of FDI flow into the country and to find the relation between FDI, FII and GDP of the country. India has witnessed the increase in the flow of FDI from US $ 4029 million in 2001-01, to US$ 36396 million on 2013. Furthermore India has witnessed a year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 24.2 per cent in FDI to touch US$ 3.95 billion in April-May 2013 as against US$ 3.18 billion during the same period in 2012. However, the analysis shows that the country is still far behind in comparison to some of the developing countries like China. The continuous upsurge in foreign direct investments (FDI), allowed across the industries and sectors, has proven that foreign investors have faith in the resilience of Indian markets. Furthermore, the study indicates that flow of FDI and GDP are positively correlated with each other and the country's GDP is showing a positive movement with flow of Foreign Direct Investment in India. The flow of FII and FDI also shows the positive correlation with each other.

Since the liberalization of trade regulations, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played a crucial role in the expansion of Indian economy, both at the macro and sector levels. The connection between FDI and economic expansion is a debatable subject worldwide. The volume of inflow varies due to a variety of regional, national, and global factors that affect investment choices. Critical policy changes and proactive decision-making demonstrated the government's exceptional resilience, which even helped to mitigate the pandemic's harm. The potential impact of FDI on important macroeconomic indicators is examined in this research paper. In order to analyze the trend of the economic route of future, the study shows the sectoral division of FDI influx. Understanding the divides and patterns helped to provide insight on how the economy was evolving. Changes to regimes are still being made by policymakers in an effort to attract FDI.

This paper basically highlights the determinants factors of FDI and how these factors are affecting FDI which is the most important factors of economic growth. It includes GDP as a dependent variable and FDI, Trade Openness and Exchange rate are the independent variables. This study has used time series data which are from various secondary data sources like IMF, RBI etc. and installed ADF test for checking the stationarity of the data. It has also used Johnson Co-integration test for find out the long run relationship between the dependent variable and independent variables. Signifying the fact that all the variables of the study move together in the long run. If variables are co integrated, the slope coefficients becomes super consistent. Among the long run coefficients, the influence of GDP to inward FDI is the highest which is 2.276. This indicates the role of market size in attracting foreign capital flow.

With the initiation of new economic policy in 1991 and subsequent reforms process, India has witnessed a change in the flow and direction of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the country. This is mainly due to the removal of restrictive and regulated practices. Foreign direct investment in India increased from US $ 129 millions in 1991-92 to US $ 40,885 million in March, 2005, and US$ above 1, 00,000 million in 2010 an increase of about 1026 times. However, the country is far behind in comparison to some of the developing countries like China. In so far as growth trend of FDI is concerned, there has been quite impressive growth of FDI inflow into the country during this period. However, negative growth rate is noticed during the period 1998-2000 primarily due to falling share of major investor countries, steep fall of approval by 55.7% in 1998 compared to 1997 and slackening of fresh equity. However, traditional industrial sectors like food processing industries, textiles, etc. which were once important sectors attracting larger FDI, have given way to modern industrial sectors like electronics and electrical equipments, etc. In this paper analyze the FDI flows in the country and also is discussed the direct proportionate of the economic growth of the country.

Since 2001, the extensive growth in domestic economy were potentially associated with the scale of foreign direct inflows that were largely interconnected with industrial growth, re-shuffling investment policies, and vailability of large market size in India. However, the government remained much restrictive earlier in these issues to protect the domestic entrepreneurs along with to promote the self-efficacy among individuals. Within this framework, this paper is being prepared to observe the degree of effect of foreign direct investment inflow over successive economic parameters such as gross domestic product and Export. Moreover, to define such interconnection, the generalized linear model econometric model has been developed to analyze the overall effect and uni-variate effect over three categorical factors i.e. country, year and foreign direct investment itself. Finally, the results shown, the consistent foreign direct investment inflows is the result of successive years that le...
