In the Monthly Economic Review for May 2025, it has been announced by the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman,<strong> <\/strong>that<strong> Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India<\/strong> has surged massively in April 2025 by a whopping 23% Year-on-Year (YoY). This comes as a cherry on top of the exponential <strong>current account surplus<\/strong> recorded during Q4FY25. Let\u2019s dig deeper to understand why these are so important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-foreign-direct-investments\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foreign_Direct_Investments\"><\/span>Foreign Direct Investments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An increasing <strong>FDI in India<\/strong> suggests that opportunities are growing in the economy, which is attracting foreign investors to invest in Indian businesses directly. In April 2025, FDI investment surged 23% to a record high of $8.8 billion. This is way above the gross inflows of <strong>FDI<\/strong> recorded in March 2025, when it stood at $5.9 billion. These growing investments by foreign direct investors indicate the consistent faith and confidence of theirs in the Indian economy and its businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the above figures talk about the <strong>gross FDI<\/strong>, let&#8217;s now see the net FDI as well. Net FDI &nbsp; doesn\u2019t include repatriations or outward investments. The Net FDI for April 2025 surged more than 2x compared to March 2025. However, here is a catch. The repatriated <strong>FDI<\/strong> tanked massively by 59% YoY to $1.7 billion, but net outward FDI stood at $3.2 billion, surged massively by 169% YoY, but dipped from March 2025\u2019s outward FDI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sectoral-foreign-direct-investments-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sectoral_Foreign_Direct_Investments\"><\/span>Sectoral Foreign Direct Investments&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look from the sectoral angle, then manufacturing and business services pulled almost half of the gross <strong>FDI inflows<\/strong>. Talking about <strong>FDI outflow<\/strong>, then sectors like electricity, water supply, financial services, and gas witnessed the most of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2020 and 2024, Indian attracted around $114 billion in greenfield investments into its digital economy sectors. This is the highest in the southern countries, as per the RBI. Overall, the <strong>Indian economy ranked<\/strong> 16<sup>th<\/sup> as per global FDI inflows.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-current-account-surplus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_Account_Surplus\"><\/span>Current Account Surplus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming to the current account surplus, even when during the Q4FY25, foreign investors were withdrawing their investments heavily, the current account surplus was recorded, and that too surpassed all the anticipations. During the quarter, the <strong>current account surplus<\/strong> recorded was $13.5 billion, which was 1.3% of the <strong>gross domestic product (GDP)<\/strong> of the fourth quarter. Just in the December quarter, the current account was in a deficit, which not only turned to a surplus during the March 2025 quarter, but also exceeded all expectations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a YoY basis as well, it went up. During Q4FY24, the current account surplus was $4.6 billion (0.5% of the GDP), which is now $13.5 billion in Q4FY25.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the entire FY25, however, the <strong>current account deficit<\/strong> (CAD) has been recorded. CAD for the entire fiscal year stood at $23.3 billion, which was equivalent to 0.6% of FY25\u2019s <strong>GDP<\/strong>. However, it improved from FY24\u2019s CAD of $26 billion or 0.7% of the GDP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Merchandise Trade Deficit&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the <strong>current account<\/strong> was in green during Q4FY25, the <strong>merchandise trade deficit<\/strong> increased to $59.5 billion from $52 billion YoY. However, it dropped from a whopping $79.3 billion recorded during Q3FY25. Again, the services sector helped as it witnessed a surge in receipts to $53.3 billion against $42.7 billion of Q4FY24.&nbsp;However, the capital inflows fell drastically to $1 billion during the entire FY25 compared to a whopping $10.2 billion recorded in FY24. Net depletion has been seen in foreign exchange reserves in terms of the <strong>balance of payments<\/strong> (BOP). It was depleted by $5 billion in FY25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source: <a
