New Delhi: Singapore retained its position as India’s top source of foreign direct investment (FDI) for the seventh consecutive year in 2024–25, contributing $14.94 billion—almost 19% of the country’s total FDI inflows for the fiscal year, according to the latest government data.

Total overseas investment inflows into India rose by 13% to $50 billion in 2024–25, while overall FDI—including equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital—rose by 14% to $81.04 billion, marking the highest level of foreign investment in the last three years.

FDI from Singapore saw a sharp rise from $11.77 billion in 2023–24 to $14.94 billion in the year gone by.

Experts attribute Singapore’s continued dominance to its status as a global financial centre, its favourable bilateral relations with India, and its role as a key gateway for international private equity and venture capital funds targeting Indian markets.

Since 2018–19, Singapore has consistently ranked as the largest investor in India, overtaking Mauritius, which had held the top position in earlier years. In 2017–18, Mauritius had accounted for the highest FDI into India.

In FY25, India received $8.34 billion in FDI from Mauritius, followed by $5.45 billion from the United States, $4.62 billion from the Netherlands, $3.12 billion from the United Arab Emirates, $2.47 billion from Japan, $1.2 billion from Cyprus, $795 million from the United Kingdom, $469 million from Germany, and $371 million from the Cayman Islands.

Foreign direct investment plays a vital role in supporting India’s economic growth.

It contributes to financing critical infrastructure such as ports, airports and highways, while also strengthening the country’s balance of payments and supporting the rupee against global currencies, particularly the US dollar.
