India’s total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have surpassed USD 88 billion during the April–February period of the ongoing financial year 2025–26, and are expected to cross USD 90 billion by the end of the fiscal, a senior government official said on Thursday.
Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Secretary Amardeep Singh Bhatia noted that the government’s sustained policy push and reform measures have played a key role in boosting investor confidence and attracting higher inflows.
He stated that FDI inflows during April–February FY26 have already crossed the USD 88 billion mark, adding that the figure is ‘likely to exceed USD 90 billion’ once the final numbers for the full financial year are compiled. Bhatia highlighted that a combination of structural reforms, investor-friendly policies and efforts to simplify regulatory frameworks have contributed significantly to the steady rise in foreign investments into the country.

He also pointed out that India’s expanding network of free trade agreements (FTAs), along with its strong and resilient economic growth trajectory, has enhanced its attractiveness as a global investment destination. According to him, sectors such as manufacturing, services, infrastructure and emerging technologies continue to draw strong interest from overseas investors, reflecting confidence in India’s long-term growth potential.
The government has been actively working to improve ease of doing business, streamline approval processes, and create a more transparent investment climate, all of which have helped sustain robust FDI inflows.
Bhatia expressed optimism that the upward trend will continue in the coming years, supported by ongoing reforms and India’s positioning as a key player in global supply chains.
