Why is it important?
This study is important because FDI plays a major role in shaping India's economic progress by bringing capital, technology and jobs. Understanding where FDI flows and why helps policymakers reduce regional imbalances, improve investment policies and strengthen weaker states. It also helps investors make informed choices about profitable sectors and regions.
Perspectives
The study highlights India’s uneven economic development, where a few states dominate FDI inflows while others lag behind. It shows the need for balanced policies, better infrastructure and easier regulations to make India more attractive to global investors. The research also provides insight into how FDI can drive future technological, industrial and regional growth.
