Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Which of the following best explains the low net FDI in India despite record-high gross FDI inflows in 2024–25?
Correct
Answer: C. Significant outward FDI and disinvestment by Private Equity/Venture Capital funds
Explanation:
While gross FDI inflows were $81 billion, net FDI stood at just $353 million, largely due to capital outflows and disinvestment by PE/VC funds. These funds often exit within a few years, reducing retained foreign capital in India. This trend is also linked to tax arbitrage and use of tax havens.
