INTRODUCTION Foreign Direct Investment, or FDI, is a type of investment that

involves the injection of foreign funds into an enterprise that operates in a different country of origin from the investor.

It usually involves participation in management, joint venture, transfer of technology and expertise.

FDI can be classified:

Inward FDI and Outward FDI

FDI IN INDIA A recent UNCTAD survey projected India as the second most

important FDI destination (after China) for transnational corporations during 2010–2012.

The sectors which attracted higher inflows were services, telecommunication, construction activities and computer software and hardware.

Mauritius, Singapore, the US and the UK were among the leading sources of FDI.

In 2008-09, FDI stood at $27.3 billion.

FDI in 2009-10 was $24.2 billion

In 2010-11, FDI into India declined to $19.43 billion, a significant decrease from both 2008 and 2009

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India may cross $35 billion in 2011-2012 as against $19.4 billion in the last financial year

FINDINGS

FDI AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FDI has an important impact on country’s trade balance,

increasing labour standards and skills, transfer of technology, skills and the general business climate.

FDI also provides an opportunity for technological transfer and up gradation, access to global managerial skills and practices ,optimal utilization of human capabilities and natural resources, making industry internationally competitive,opening up export markets,access to international quality goods and services and augmenting employment opportunities.

India’s share in global FDI has increased considerably, but the pace of FDI inflows has been slower than China, Singapore, Brazil, and Russia.

Indian economy is largely agriculture based andt here is plenty of scope in food processing, agriculture services and agriculture machinery. FDI in this sector should be encouraged.

Research and Development expenditure shows unexpected negative sign. This could be attributed to the fact that R&D sector is not receiving enough FDI as per its requirement. but this sector is gaining more attention in recent years.

FINDINGS AT SECTORAL LEVEL

INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR Infrastructure sector received 28.6 percent of total FDI

inflows from 2008 to 2010

AUTOMOBILE SECTOR The FDI in Automobile Industry has experienced huge growth in

SECTOR WISE RANKING OF FDI INFLOWS

RECOMMENDATIONS The government should provide additional incentives to foreign

investors to invest in states where the level of FDI inflows is quite low.

Government should ensure the equitable distribution of inflows among states and must give more freedom to states, so that they can attract inflows at their own level.

Government must target at attracting specific types of FDI that will be able to generate spillovers effects in the overall economy like investing in human capital, R&D activities, environmental issues, productive capacity, sectors with high income elasticity of demand.

The policy makers should focus more on attracting diverse types of FDI and should design policies where foreign investment can be utilized as means of enhancing domestic production, savings, and exports and also as medium of technological learning and diffusion and also in providing access to the external market.

Government must exercise strict control over inefficient bureaucracy, red - tapism, and the rampant corruption, so that investor’s confidence can be maintained for attracting more FDI inflows to India.

CONCLUSION

The increased flow of FDI in a country has given a major boost to the country's economy.

FDI has provided better access to technologies for the local economy.

FDI has lead to indirect productivity gains through spillovers.

Multinational firms have increased the degree of competition in host-country markets which will force existing inefficient firms to invest more in physical or human capital.

• Service sector has been the most sought after sector in India for Foreign Direct Investments.

• India, with its skilled labor and manpower has the potential to overtake China as the most preferred destination for Foreign Investments.

• Hence measures must be taken in order to ensure that the flow of FDI in our country continues to grow.
