India's FDI hits $1 trillion, and the biggest investor is a small island nation whose GDP is smaller than Himachal

India has crossed a significant economic threshold, with foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows exceeding $1 trillion since April 2000. Bolstered by a 26% increase in the first half of FY 2024-25, India’s appeal as an investment destination is driven by policy reforms, strategic initiatives like "Make in India," and liberalised FDI norms. Major contributors include Mauritius and Singapore, while sectors such as services, manufacturing, and technology witnessed robust inflows.
