Abstract

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played a crucial role in India's economic growth, enhancing industrial productivity, technological advancement, and employment generation. This paper examines the state-wise  and sector wise FDI inflow in India between 2000 and 2010, analyzing trends and identifying key determinants of FDI distribution across states. The study uses secondary data sources. The findings indicate that Maharashtra, Delhi NCR, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu attracted the highest FDI inflows due to their superior infrastructure, industrial clusters, and business-friendly policies. The study also highlights disparities in FDI distribution, identifying key factors limiting investment in less-developed states. The study highlights India's strong positioning in the services and IT sectors, which have consistently attracted the highest foreign investments. Finally, policy recommendations are provided to foster balanced regional investment and diversified investments across multiple sectors to ensure balanced economic development.
