INDIA WILL SOON SEE SURGE IN FDI INFLOWS

India will soon see a surge in foreign direct investment, including from the US, as the country strengthens manufacturing sector under the ‘Make in India’ programme.
Manufacturing becomes very important area where we can operate. On FDI in multi-brand retail, however, the government stands that they are not in favour of FDI in retail as it would impact millions of people.
Further there is a tremendous opportunity in investing in India. In the last year USD 40 billion was pumped into India both in equity and debt. A lot of that came from the US. There are significant returns as India grows and develops and as we build trillion dollar infrastructure.
India and the US can also work together to find financing instruments and investment vehicle that will generate returns that America need and India gets capital that they need to build infrastructure and power our economy.
