MUMBAI – Gross foreign direct investment into India rose slightly to $6.60 billion in September from $6.05 billion a month ago and $6.33 billion a year ago, according to the Reserve Bank of India's bulletin released Monday. The net FDI outflow in September surged on the back of higher repatriation.
On a net basis, FDI recorded an outflow of $2.38 billion in September as repatriations rose to $5.20 billion during the month. Net FDI had seen an outflow of $1.18 billion a year ago, and in August, the net outward FDI was $622 million, with repatriations of $4.93 billion.
Manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, communication services, financial services and computer services were the biggest recipients of the inflows. Singapore, Mauritius, the United Arab Emirates, Luxembourg, and Qatar together accounted for about 78% of total inflows.
For outward FDI, the major destinations were Singapore, Mauritius, the UAE and the US, while major sectors included financial services, insurance and business services, agriculture and mining and manufacturing, the RBI said.
Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investments turned positive in October at $3.6 billion. Net FPI flows turned positive after three consecutive months of outflows, supported by robust quarterly earnings, improved valuations, and IPO issuances, the RBI said. In November so far (up to 20th), net FPI flows remained positive, supported by both equity and debt segment, they said. End
