India's Net FDI Rises to $6.6 Billion in April, Highest Since 2021

Analysed 22 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·India·Business
India's Net FDI Rises to $6.6 Billion in April, Highest Since 2021PreviousNext

Net foreign direct investment (FDI) in India rose sharply to $6.6 billion in April 2026, marking the highest level in nearly five years, according to the Reserve Bank of India. Gross FDI inflows surged 65% year-on-year to $15.3 billion, driven mainly by investments from Japan, Singapore, and Mauritius. Outward FDI by Indian companies also increased to $4.8 billion. This growth follows a period of negative net FDI for several months, reflecting a significant turnaround despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.
