According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) data, India rose a position to rank 15 among top global destinations for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2024.
The development comes despite a marginal dip in inflows at $27.6 billion.
The decline in inflows contrasts with a notable increase in greenfield project announcements. India ranked fourth, with 1,080 greenfield projects announced in 2024.
Notably, India is also among the top five economies in terms of international project finance deals, securing 97 such transactions.
