India’s net FDI hits 5-year high at $6.6 billion in April 2026 on 65% surge in inflows

Mumbai: Net foreign direct investment into India jumped to $6.6 billion in April 2026, marking its highest level in nearly five years, Reserve Bank of India data released Monday showed.

The surge was driven by a 65% rise in gross FDI inflows during the month. Net FDI is the total foreign investment that entered India minus the amount that exited.

For context, net FDI stood at just $917 million in March 2026. April’s figure is the strongest since May 2021, signaling renewed foreign investor confidence at the start of FY27.

The sharp uptick in inflows suggests global funds are finding India’s growth story attractive amid stable policy and strong domestic demand.
