It’s payback time for PM Modi’s critics, who were restless on the real progress and growth trajectory of Indian economy.

Financial Times have declared that India is now world’s top FDI destination, as we attracted $31 billion from foreign investors during the first half of 2015. Thereby, we have overtaken US and China in this department. China received $28 billion of FDI, while US received $27 billion during the same period.

FT’s report on global FDI growth says, “A ranking of the top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US.”

This report was forwarded by Finance Ministry to showcase India’s remarkable growth in attracting FDI, especially in 2015. Compared to last year, FDI in India has increased by 47%, which has broken all records.

This new found confidence in India’s economy becomes more fascinating when 97 out of 154 ‘emerging economies’ received less FDI and less confidence from foreign investors!

Here are the Top 10 FDI Destinations

PM Modi Effect?
Financial observers are clear on this one: It’s PM Modi’s whirlwind tour of foreign countries, which have an important role in this surge of FDIs. In 2015, PM Modi has already visited 25 countries, propagating India’s new development story.

The countries where PM Modi visited in 2015: Australia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Fiji, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritius, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan.

Although some of these visits were mainly due to humanitarian purposes (for example Nepal visit); most of these trips triggered positive response from the investors, who wholeheartedly trusted in PM Modi’s pitch for a new, developed India.

Other Emerging Asian Economies
Besides India, the report mentions the fast growth of Indonesia and Vietnam in their report. Indonesia has witnessed record growth of 62% in receiving FDI, as $14 billion was pumped into their economy during H1-2015. This year, they are ranked #6, after they broke into top 10 ranking last year.

Brazil was the country which witnessed massive erosion of FDI this year, but still holds on to #9 spot.

Nothing to see here. Its due to oil prices, Vedic mathematics and work of RSS Chaddiwalas of Financial Times , sitting in Brooklyn, Newyork.
So you are saying that oil prices reduced in India only....BTW...Please use correct flags

But in other countries they use proper calculations and not Vedic maths.... @Luca1

I hope @magudi will expose these fake stats

By the way..Vedic math thing was correct. Just look at this...

China had 70B and all of the sudden it became 30B. not sure they added or substracted...ha ha

You are correct in a way... but if you read it again it says...

“A ranking of the top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US.”

Even the other sources say that we actually outdid China in terms of start ups and new companies and not overall.

Unlike FIIs which could evaporate with a sneeze, FDI is real deal.

You have to give credit where it is due. Modi is a great Orator, Businessman and Thinker.

They should highlight the truth correctly. First of all government now merged FII+FPI into FDI. so calculation could be different. Next India 30B$ is total value of FDI isnt it? Why writing in such a way that they confuse all? Startups probably India would be good and number 1, i am sure most of these would be Bangalore based. a congress ruled place.

But new FDI includes FII and FPI also as per new policy.

PM Modi Articulate Spokesperson for India, Says Raghuram Rajan

Reserve Bank Governor Raghuram Rajan on Wednesday said that the government was doing a good job in managing the economy and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being an "articulate spokesman for India".

"What we need to do is to back up his visits with action on the ground which reinforces the good impression that he has created," Dr Rajan said in an exclusive interview to NDTV, acknowledging PM Modi's initiative to market India as an investment destination

Who cares even if Figures are fudged :p:

India can always issue warning in very fine print about the clubbing of FII figures in FDI :devil:

The main point is to tell the WHOLE WORLD that " Forget China Come to India" 8-)

It's great that India is growing. But bragging articles are not necessary. It's actually embarrassing when it obfuscates truth.
