GROWTH AND INSTABILITY OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN INDIA

Abstract: This paper mainly explains the growth and instability of India's foreign direct investment inflow in India. India's foreign direct investment inflows from 1990-91 to 2023-24 illustrate the nation's successful evolution into a global investment centre, bolstered by substantial reforms, market expansion, and diversification across various sectors. Although there have been temporary setbacks in FDI due to global economic disruptions, India has demonstrated exceptional resilience and remains one of the most appealing destinations for foreign investment. The cornerstone of maintaining this growth resides in policy consistency, enhanced infrastructure, and a sustained emphasis on developing sectors such as technology, renewable energy, and manufacturing. Through strategic reforms, sectoral diversification, and a commitment to sustainable growth, India is strategically positioned to continue attracting robust foreign investments in the forthcoming years. Key words: Foreign Direct Investment, Growth, Instability, Inflow, Capital.
