India's Outward FDI Commitments Decline 37% in September, Equity Up Year-on-Year
India's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments fell 37% to $4.34 billion in September 2026 from $6.87 billion in August, driven mainly by a sharp decline in guarantees issued by Indian companies. Equity commitments decreased 20% month-on-month to $3.26 billion but were 26% higher than the previous year. Loans to overseas subsidiaries rose slightly to $549 million. The Reserve Bank of India noted the data is provisional and subject to revision.
