The last two decades of the 20th century witnessed a dramatic world-wide increase in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), accompanied by a marked change in the attitude of most developing countries towards inward FDI. In India this change in mindset was the result of complex process that was initiated in 1990-91, now known as economic liberalization program.

The rate at which FDI has grown and come into the country during the post-liberalization period is a clear indication that India is fast emerging as an attractive destination for overseas investors. Though India has one of the most transparent and liberal FDI regimes among the developing countries with strong macro-economic fundamentals, it share in FDI inflows is dismally low. The country still suffers from weaknesses and constraints, in terms of policy and regulatory framework, severely restricting the inflow of FDI.

This monograph is devoted to an eloquent and analytical study of FDI trends and policies in India while examining the developments and controversies (economic and political) relating to the trends in major sectors like Agriculture, Industry, Infrastructure and retails.
