Foreign Investment in India Surges; US Emerges as Largest Investor, Says RBI Report

RBI reports 11% rise in FDI to ₹68.75 lakh crore. The US leads foreign investment in India, followed by Singapore, Mauritius, and the UK, highlighting India’s growing appeal for global investors.

New Delhi, October 30, 2025 — India has recorded a sharp rise in foreign direct investment this fiscal year, with the Reserve Bank of India reporting total inflows of ₹68.75 lakh crore, up from ₹61.88 lakh crore in the previous year. This marks an 11 percent increase and reflects growing international confidence in the Indian economy. According to the RBI report, the United States has emerged as the largest investor in India, contributing nearly 20 percent of total equity inflows. Singapore follows with 14.3 percent, Mauritius at 13.3 percent, and the United Kingdom at 11.2 percent. The data highlights India’s strong positioning as a preferred global investment hub, especially for sectors such as manufacturing, digital infrastructure, energy, and services.

Experts say that despite global economic uncertainties and tightening financial conditions, India’s stable policy environment, digital transformation, and production-linked incentive schemes have made it an attractive destination for long-term capital. American investors are particularly increasing stakes in India’s technology, renewable energy, and logistics sectors, seeing strong growth potential over the next decade. The trend also suggests that India’s economic reforms and focus on ease of doing business are paying off, with more multinational companies viewing India as a strategic alternative to China for manufacturing and supply chain operations.

This surge in investment is expected to further strengthen India’s foreign exchange reserves, boost job creation, and accelerate industrial growth. Economists believe that sustained inflows at this level will support India’s goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy in the coming years. However, they also point out that maintaining investor confidence will depend on continuous improvements in regulatory frameworks, infrastructure development, and policy stability.
