Net foreign direct investment (FDI) fell 52% year on year to $1 billion in June, from $2.2 billion same time last year. Gross investments stood at $9.2 billion in June, versus $7 billion in May.
The US, Cyprus and Singapore together accounted for more than three-fourths of total FDI inflows. According to experts, FDI inflows are perceived to be a more stable source for India’s foreign exchange reserves compared to portfolio flows.
