India recorded its highest-ever annual inflow of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) of USD 94.53 billion in the fiscal year 2025-26, surpassing all previous records. This figure marks a significant milestone, as cumulative FDI inflows from 2014 to 2025-26 have reached an impressive USD 843 billion, according to Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal.
Goyal highlighted the success of Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, which have spurred actual investments of Rs 2.40 lakh crore, production/sales of Rs 23.8 lakh crore, and exports valued at Rs 15.2 lakh crore, resulting in over 14.6 lakh direct and indirect jobs. Sectors like electronics, telecom, pharmaceuticals, automobiles, IT hardware, and specialty steel have particularly benefited from these initiatives.
The PLI schemes have also led to the establishment of greenfield industrial smart cities across the country under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme, aimed at enhancing infrastructure for globally competitive manufacturing. Ease of Doing Business reforms have further simplified regulations and reduced compliance burdens, while sector-specific reforms have opened new avenues for investment and manufacturing.
Additionally, over 470 crore orders have been placed through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).
