<h1>India's FDI Inflow Rises Steadily; 2014-15 Hits $44 Billion, No Government Targets Set, Liberal Policies Encouraged.</h1> The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflow, including Non-Resident Indian (NRI) investments, from 2012 to 2015 showed a steady increase, with 2014-15 reaching $44,291 million. Up to September 2015, the inflow was $24,409 million. The government does not set FDI targets, as it depends on private business decisions, and data is not centrally maintained. India was ranked the top FDI destination in early 2015. A liberal policy allows most sectors to receive FDI automatically, with special provisions for NRI investments in certain sectors. NRI-controlled entities outside India are treated equally for investment purposes.
