FDI IN INDIA AND ITS GROWTH LINKAGES<br />

picked up <strong>and</strong> surged from $4 billion <strong>in</strong> 2005 to $11 billion <strong>in</strong> 2006. In terms of SDR volume, a similar trend <strong>in</strong> FDI<br />

<strong>in</strong>flows can be observed.<br />

Table 8.2 shows the distribution of FDI by DIPP sectors. It may be observed from the table that dur<strong>in</strong>g January 2000<br />

– June 2007, the service sector accounted for the highest amount of FDI <strong>in</strong>flows (21.6 per cent), followed by electrical<br />

equipment (19.8 per cent) <strong>and</strong> miscellaneous <strong>in</strong>dustries (15.4 per cent). With<strong>in</strong> the service sector, f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>and</strong> other<br />

services attracted about 10.3 per cent <strong>and</strong> 5.5 per cent, respectively, while bank<strong>in</strong>g services attracted about 2 per cent of<br />

FDI. With<strong>in</strong> the electrical equipment sector, the computer software <strong>in</strong>dustry attracted the highest share at 15.8 per cent,<br />

followed by electrical equipment with 2.4 per cent. Miscellaneous <strong>in</strong>dustries comprise major activities like construction,<br />

real estate, diamonds, ornaments <strong>and</strong> gold, agriculture (hybrid seeds <strong>and</strong> plantation), floriculture, tea/coffee <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g<br />

of books. Among these groups, construction <strong>and</strong> real estate received about 4.9 per cent <strong>and</strong> 2.9 per cent, respectively.<br />

Further, telecommunications received about 9.8 per cent of cumulative FDI.<br />

The FDI <strong>in</strong>flows by country of orig<strong>in</strong> are presented <strong>in</strong> Table 8.3. FDI <strong>in</strong>flows from various <strong>in</strong>vest<strong>in</strong>g countries, by <strong>and</strong><br />

large, showed an <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g trend. Among the countries, Mauritius emerged as the top country through which 44.9 per<br />

cent of the total FDI reached India. The bilateral agreements, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the Double Taxation Avoidance Act between<br />

India <strong>and</strong> Mauritius, favoured companies located <strong>in</strong> Mauritius that <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong> India. The US <strong>and</strong> the UK accounted for<br />

about 9.7 per cent <strong>and</strong> 8.6 per cent of total FDI <strong>in</strong>flows, respectively. Japan, one of the highest contributors of official<br />

development assistance <strong>in</strong> India, accounted for about 4.6 per cent of total FDI.<br />

The country-wise FDI <strong>in</strong>flows <strong>in</strong> DIPP 4-digit sub-sectors of the aggregate 92 sectors provides more detailed sectoral<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation about FDI <strong>in</strong>flows (Table 8.4). Among the top <strong>in</strong>vest<strong>in</strong>g countries, the maximum FDI from Mauritius <strong>and</strong><br />

the United States appears <strong>in</strong> the sub-categories of computer software <strong>in</strong>dustry <strong>and</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ancial services. Inflows from the<br />

UK are concentrated <strong>in</strong> the sub-category “other services”. The Netherl<strong>and</strong>s has <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong> the computer software<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustry, “other miscellaneous <strong>in</strong>dustries” <strong>and</strong> “other services”. Investments from Japan are concentrated <strong>in</strong> the subcategories<br />

of electrical equipment <strong>and</strong> the automobile <strong>in</strong>dustry, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g passenger cars. S<strong>in</strong>gapore has <strong>in</strong>vested <strong>in</strong><br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial services, “other miscellaneous <strong>in</strong>dustries” <strong>and</strong> “other services”. Inflows from Germany are concentrated <strong>in</strong> “other<br />

miscellaneous <strong>in</strong>dustries”, chemicals <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>surance.<br />

8.10 Concordance between DIPP <strong>and</strong> National <strong>Industrial</strong> Classification (NIC), 2008<br />

As discussed elsewhere, the sectoral classification of FDI should reflect all economic activities tak<strong>in</strong>g place <strong>in</strong> the<br />

economic territory of India. India’s NIC 2008 is based on the International St<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>Industrial</strong> Classification (ISIC)<br />

Revision 4, which is widely used by countries to compile FDI statistics. Details of the DIPP classification are provided<br />

<strong>in</strong> Table 8.5. Here, we have attempted to construct a concordance table between DIPP 92 4-digit sectors <strong>and</strong> the NIC-<br />

2008 classification at 2 <strong>and</strong> 3 dig<strong>its</strong>; NIC-2008 has 99 sectors at the 2-digit level <strong>and</strong> 238 sectors at the 3-digit level.<br />

The concordance schemes are provided <strong>in</strong> Table 8.6 <strong>and</strong> Table 8.7, respectively. We have created an additional 93rd<br />

DIPP sector (4300) that conta<strong>in</strong>s all the NIC sectors which could not be covered under any of the 92 DIPP 4-digit<br />

sectors. Thus, our mapp<strong>in</strong>g concordance is comprehensive <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>cludes all the 2-digit <strong>and</strong> 3-digit NIC-2008 sectors.<br />

8.11 Recommendation<br />

To conclude, DIPP follows the modified sectoral classification furnished <strong>in</strong> the Industries Development <strong>and</strong> Regulation<br />

Act, 1951 to present FDI data by sector. However, this classification is <strong>in</strong>adequate as it is based on a high level of<br />

aggregation of economic activities. The widely followed st<strong>and</strong>ard classification is the National <strong>Industrial</strong> Classification.<br />

Therefore, NCAER recommends that DIPP base <strong>its</strong> FDI statistics classification on NIC-2008.<br />
