Gross FDI hits 15-year high of $30.7 billion in April-June 2026

New Delhi: India attracted $30.7 billion in gross foreign direct investment in the April-June 2026 quarter, the highest level in at least 15 years, according to Reserve Bank of India data.

The strong inflow pushed net FDI to its highest since June 2022. Net FDI turned positive again in June 2026, with inflows exceeding outflows by $1.3 billion, driven by higher foreign investment and lower outward investment by Indian companies.

RBI data shows Singapore, the Netherlands, the US and Canada accounted for around 74% of inflows.

A longer-term analysis shows inflows are starting to outpace outflows more regularly. While net FDI was negative in six of the last 12 months, it was negative in only one of the last six months.
