Record Foreign Direct Investment Into India Not Boosting Manufacturing

Indiaspend writes…An important aspect of India’s FDI flows is the substantial amount of repatriations/disinvestments (funds that foreign firms earn in India through sale of goods and services or shares that can be sent back to their country of origin).

The ratio of disinvestment/repatriation to FDI inflows, which was 30% during 2010-11, increased to nearly 36% in 2016-17. The estimate for 2017-18 (up to January) is nearly 47%.

These figures of rising disinvestments are in addition to outward remittances by way of dividends paid by foreign companies from their Indian units to parent units abroad and payments made by Indian companies for technology and other services.
