$90 billion FDI flows: Morgan Stanley reveals 3 sectors consuming 70% of India’s new foreign capital
24-Apr-2026

Foreign direct investment into India is holding close to record levels, but the pattern within these inflows is becoming more selective. Morgan Stanley says gross foreign direct investment stands at $90.8 billion on a 12-month trailing basis as of January 2026, rising to this level from $80.3 billion in January 2025. At the same time, net foreign direct investment drops sharply to $0.5 billion, one of the lowest levels on record, due to rising profit repatriation and a surge in outward investments. Morgan Stanley says global capital continues to enter India, but it is concentrating in a narrower set of sectors. Services, targeted manufacturing segments, and digital infrastructure are receiving the bulk of inflows, while outflows are rising across profits and overseas expansion by Indian firms.
