TREND AND GROWTH OF SECTOR�WISE FDI INFLOWS IN INDIA

B. Murugesan

Abstract :

 Since the launch of Economic reforms in 1991, India has been one of the fastest growing countries in the world with the active participation of FDI in the economy. First, this study analyses the trend and growth of FDI inflows in India in the post liberalization period. Furthermore, this study examines the sector–wise FDI inflows received in India. This analysis clearly shows that the inflow of FDI has a significant effect on the economic growth of the nation. This study found that the sector–wise inflow of FDI has influenced economic growth in India. This study concludes that the government may design the FDI inflows policy in such a way where FDI inflows can be utilized as means of enhancing domestic production, saving and exports through the equitable distribution among the states by providing much freedom for the states, so, that they can attract more FDI at their own level.
