MUMBAI – India saw net foreign direct investment inflows of $4.62 billion in February, as against outflows of $1.39 billion a month earlier, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India Thursday. India had recorded net FDI outflows of $703 million a year ago.

 

The gross FDI inflow increased 62% on year to $8.98 billion in February. The gross FDI inflow was $5.56 billion a year ago and $5.67 billion in January. Repatriations were at $1.74 billion in February, down from $4.92 billion in January and $2.49 billion a year ago.

 

During Apr-Feb, gross FDI inflows were $88.30 billion, up from $74.74 billion in the corresponding period of last year.

 

Among sectors, manufacturing, computer services, financial services, business services, and communication services accounted for more than two-thirds of total equity inflows up to February, the RBI said in the 'State of the Economy' paper published in the RBI Bulletin. 

 

Foreign portfolio investment registered net outflows of $16.5 billion during 2025-26, mainly driven by outflows in the equity segment, the RBI said. "FPI flows in the equity segment remained negative amidst cautious investor sentiment driven by global trade tensions, uncertainty surrounding the India-US trade deal, and the outbreak of the West Asia conflict," the RBI said. Net FDI increased to $6.27 billion during Apr-Feb from $1.46 billion a year ago. Singapore, the US, Mauritius, Japan, and the Netherlands were the major source countries of inward FDI to India, the RBI said.  End
