India's net foreign direct investment (FDI) increased to Rs. 33,528 crore (US$ 3.9 billion) in April 2025, up from Rs. 16,334 crore (US$ 1.9 billion) in April 2024, mainly due to a significant drop in capital repatriation. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), gross inward FDI rose to Rs. 75,654 crore (US$ 8.8 billion) in April 2025, compared to Rs. 50,772 crore (US$ 5.9 billion) in March 2025 and Rs. 61,898 crore (US$ 7.2 billion) in April 2024. Capital repatriation or divestment decreased considerably to Rs. 14,615 crore (US$ 1.7 billion) from Rs. 35,248 crore (US$ 4.1 billion) in the same period last year. Nevertheless, total repatriation during FY25 increased to Rs. 4,41,372 crore (US$ 51.4 billion) from Rs. 3,81,263 crore (US$ 44.4 billion) in FY24, which the RBI linked to a mature market facilitating the smooth entry and exit of foreign investors. In addition, India's outward FDI grew to Rs. 27,510 crore (US$ 3.2 billion) in April 2025 from Rs. 10,316 crore (US$ 1.2 billion) in April 2024. Key sectors influencing outward investments included electricity, gas, and water along with financial, insurance, and business services. The primary countries receiving Indian investments were Singapore, Mauritius, and Germany. According to the RBI's State of the Economy bulletin, manufacturing and business services together accounted for almost 50% of the total gross FDI inflows. The central bank underscored that consistent high gross inflows reaffirm India's attractiveness as a global investment hub.
