Foreign direct investment into the country grew by over 30 per cent to $21.62 billion during the first half of 2016-17. During April-September of 2015-16, India received FDI worth $16.63 billion, an official said.
“Ease of doing business and relaxation in the FDI policy are helping attract more FDI. The recent easing in sectors like civil aviation and construction will help in attracting more overseas funds,” the official added. The sectors that receive maximum inflows include computer hardware and software, trading business, automobile industry and chemicals.
