The fortnight’s burning question. Will FDI for the current fiscal surpass last year’s figure of $32.4 billion and continue to grow in 2009-10?
Will FDI for the current fiscal surpass last year’s figure of $32.4 billion and continue to grow in 2009-10?
Yes. Siddhartha Roy, Chief Economist, Tata Group FDI coming to India will certainly surpass last year’s numbers and the trend is likely to continue in 2009-10. For the private equity investor, India’s longterm growth story still holds.
Maybe. Rajan Bharti Mittal, Senior Vice President, FICCI Latest figures show that FDI inflows into the country during April-December 2008 have been quite buoyant. However, there are indications that in the last quarter, we may see this flow slowing down. The FDI flow in the coming year will depend on global recovery and how major corporations fare in their home countries. India remains one of the safest bets for direct investors, but they cannot invest unless they have the required funds.
No. D.K. Joshi, Principal Economist, CRISIL The current fiscal’s FDI inflow is not likely to exceed last year’s figure. Over the last three quarters, the inflows were buoyant because of old commitments getting materialised. In the coming months, we will see a sharp reduction in fresh commitments mainly due to the credit crunch and risk aversion in the international markets.
