India's Net FDI Projected to Rise in FY27 Despite Negative May 2026 Inflows
India's net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are projected to reach a four-year high of $15 billion in the 2026-27 fiscal year, supported by rising gross inflows and slower repatriation outflows. However, May 2026 saw net FDI turn negative by $74 million due to a sharp decline in inflows exceeding outflows. Key inflow sources include Japan, Singapore, and Mauritius, with financial services and manufacturing as major sectors. Outward investments by Indian companies remain elevated, primarily directed to the U.S. and other countries.
