THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL PARTIES ON FDI IN INDIA

This paper explores how political stability has shaped Indias foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows over sixteen pivotal years, focusing on 2008, 2011, 2020, and 2024. By tracing policy consistency, leadership transitions, and macro economic shifts under successive governments, it uncovers how a stable political environment fuels investor confidence and sustains FDI growth. Despite global crises and domestic challenges, Indias democratic resilience and steady policy frameworks have consistently positioned it as a reliable investment hub in a volatile world. Far from being a passive backdrop, Indias political stability has actively attracted and anchored foreign investment, powering its growth story. This paper offers fresh insight into why political stability is not merely desirable but essential for emerging economies aimingto secure long-term economic progress.
