FDI in India: V-shaped recovery
A two-year decline in FDI projects and inflows to India reversed in 2014. Though still far below the 2011 peak, the number of FDI projects rose 37 % in 2014, with a proportional increase in jobs created by FDI. Investor confidence in India has been strengthened by improving economic growth and investor-friendly moves by the new Government. In 2014, the average project involved an investment of US $ 37m, compared with US $ 40m in 2012 and US $ 53m in 2010. Investors are positive but wary and keen to see real improvements in the business environment. The uptick in FDI projects into India contrasts with a 3 % slide in the number of FDI projects worldwide, while it outpaced the 17 % rise across the Asia-Pacific region.
