The details of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) applications/proposals, the proposals sanctioned and the amount involved for the proposals received by Government from foreign companies during the last two years under the approval route sector is indicated below:-          

Year	No. of Proposals received	No. of Proposals disposed	Amount of (in Rs crore)
2014-15	344	250	44005.85
2015-16 (upto Jan, 2016)	424	285	48902.76

 Except few sectors which are under approval route, FDI upto 100% is under automatic route. The FDI equity inflow data is not maintained state wise, but RBI regional office wise. FDI equity inflows recorded for a particular regional office of RBI, may cover more than one state.  Further, a company may report investment transaction in the state where its head office is situated irrespective of the state in which fund has been utilized. Hence, in view of this, it is difficult to find the investment made exclusively for a single state. The details of amount of FDI Equity Inflows from April, 2014 to December, 2015 (RBI’s Regional Office-wise) is as below: 

Sl. No.	Regional Offices of RBI	States Covered	2014-15 Apr - Mar	2015-16 Apr-Dec	Total

		Grand Total	30,930.50	29,442.45	60,372.95

 FDI complements and supplements domestic investment. Domestic companies are benefited through FDI, by way of enhanced access to supplementary capital and state-of-art-technologies; exposure to global managerial practices and opportunities of integration into global markets resulting into increased production, export and employment generation of the country.

This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Commerce & Industry Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.

Foreign Direct Investment approvals under approval and automatic routes affect regional inflow reporting and state allocation. FDI applications under the approval route and corresponding sanctioned amounts for 2014-15 and 2015-16 (upto Jan 2016) are reported, while most sectors allow up to 100% FDI under the automatic route. RBI regional office-wise equity inflows for April 2014-December 2015 are provided as aggregates, but regional coverage and company reporting practices mean these figures cannot be used to allocate investment exclusively to individual states.
