Abstract

Foreign capital plays an important role in the development of developing countries whose domestic capital is not sufficient to fulfill their domestic requirements. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an important part of the foreign capital which fills this gap in the domestic savings and thus plays a crucial role in the developmental process. This paper tries to analyze the trends of foreign Direct Inflows in India during the period 2000-01 to 2020-21. Our analysis shows a sharp rise in the FDI inflows in India during the chosen study period which is the period after a decade of economic reforms in India. However, the study shows some fluctuations in the FDI inflows which have been analyzed in the paper.
