【Chennai】India retained its numero uno position as the world's top most greenfield FDI investment destination for the second consecutive year, attracting $62.3 billion in 2016
According to the Kotak Institutional Equities study, India saw an increase in greenfield investment proposals, with its share in global greenfield investment announcements growing to 7.6 per cent in 2016 from 2.9 per cent in 2013.
Foreign funds come into a host country broadly through two routes — greenfield investments and mergers and acquisitions. Greenfield investments are more desirable as they show immediate positive impact on employment generation, productivity and technological improvements.
“Even as India’s foreign direct investments profile remains steady amid slowing global investment flows, some cracks have started to appear,” the report said, adding India will have to strive harder for sustained FDI flows to compensate for the lack of domestic capex appetite.
