Author(s) Brototi Boral

Abstract The paper aims to evaluate the sector and state wise distribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India from 1991 to 2021. Decadal comparison has been made to compare sector and state-wise distribution of FDI inflow. The analysis shows that there has been an upward rising trend in overall FDI in the last thirty years. The three sectors that attracted the highest cumulative FDI in thirty years include the Services Sector, Computer Software and Hardware, and Telecommunications. The three major states where the highest amount of FDI inflow has been reported are Maharashtra, Delhi, and Karnataka. Gradual expansion in sectoral demand along with liberalized government regulation helped to attract foreign equity inflow in different sectors. Unlike the sectoral distribution of FDI, regional distribution has remained almost unchanged with Maharashtra, Delhi, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Haryana remaining major destinations of FDI inflow. Thus, it was found that sector-wise concentration is coming down while regional concentration has increased.
