FDI - White & Brief

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a cornerstone of India’s economic growth, acting as a vital source of non-debt financial resources for the country’s development. When a foreign firm, investor, or government acquires equity ownership in an Indian company or project, it constitutes FDI in India. Investors frequently target open economies with a skilled workforce and high growth potential. India’s attractive benefits, including tax incentives, competitive labor costs, and an investor-friendly regulatory framework, make it a preferred destination for FDI. Additionally, the government’s supportive policies, vibrant market opportunities, and India’s strategic economic position globally drive increasing foreign investments into the country.
