Maharashtra and Karnataka accounted for 51 per cent of the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the country during the last financial year 2024-25, according to the latest data by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
While Maharashtra attracted maximum foreign inflows at USD 19.6 billion and accounted for 31 per cent of the country’s total FDI during April-March 2024-25, Karnataka received USD 6.62 overseas investments during the last fiscal year, the data revealed.
The two states were followed by Delhi (USD 6 billion), Gujarat (USD 5.71 billion), Tamil Nadu (USD 3.68 billion), Haryana (USD 3.14 billion), and Telangana (USD 3 billion).
Experts say the main reason for the maximum inflows in Maharashtra and Karnataka is substantial improvement in infrastructure, making them attractive destinations for foreign investors.
Total FDI, which includes equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital, grew 14 per cent to USD 81.04 billion during the last financial year. It is the highest in the last three years. The same stood at USD 71.3 billion in 2023-24.
