India's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are expected to exceed $90 billion in the fiscal year 2025-26, according to Amardeep Singh Bhatia, Secretary of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). As of February 2026, gross FDI inflows reached $88.29 billion, surpassing the previous fiscal year's total of $80.61 billion. Net FDI inflows saw a significant increase to $6.26 billion, up from $959 million in FY25. Bhatia attributes this growth to favorable policy reforms, free trade agreements, and robust economic performance, which have doubled India's share in global FDI over the past decade. Looking ahead, Bhatia anticipates that annual FDI could reach $100 billion by 2030, supported by continued reforms and shifts in global supply chains. Notably, states such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh have become attractive investment hubs due to proactive policies and infrastructure improvements. In FY 2025-26, $6.1 billion worth of investments were facilitated through the grounding of 60 projects across 14 states, potentially creating over 31,000 jobs. Approximately 42% of these investments originated from European nations, with sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and electronics leading the way.
