• India's Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows surged by 73% to USD 47 billion in 2025, according to the UNCTAD's Global Investment Trends Monitor.
• The significant increase is attributed to large investments in services (finance, IT, R&D) and manufacturing, supported by policies integrating India into global supply chains.
• Global FDI reached an estimated USD 1.6 trillion in 2025, a 14% increase, though much of this was due to higher flows through major global financial centers.
