Abstract

This paper aims to discuss where India stands on the foreign direct investment (FDI) market, especially as regards FDI from the EU. In 2020-2021 the Covid-19 outbreak largely hit financial markets and global FDI plummeted. Only a few countries, among which India, still recorded high and positive FDI inflows. This may reveal India's full potential as a host of foreign investment and redefine its position on the FDI market as an opportunity catalyst. In May 2021, the European Union (EU) and India entered a High-Level Dialogue on Trade and Investment and agreed on a new Connectivity Partnership. This paper suggests that it may be in the EU's best interest to leverage its already privileged relationship with India – strengthening it and encouraging European companies to consider India as a FDI host.
