India recorded a record $94.53 billion in foreign direct investment in fiscal 2025-26, bringing cumulative inflows since 2014-15 to $843 billion, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said as the country marked the 12th anniversary of its Make in India campaign. Goyal said the initiative aims to position India as a manufacturer for global markets, citing production-linked incentive programs, business reforms and new industrial infrastructure as contributors to growth. The incentive schemes have generated reported investments of 2.40 trillion rupees, production and sales of 23.8 trillion rupees, exports of 15.2 trillion rupees, and more than 1.46 million direct and indirect jobs.
