According to the latest government data, FDI from Singapore in 2024–25 increased from $ 11.77 billion to $ 14.94 billion from Singapore to $ 14.94 billion. Singapore contributed about 19 percent to the total flow in 2024–25. From 2018-19, Singapore remains the largest source of FDI for India. Earlier in 2017-18, India attracted the most foreign direct investment from Mauritius. In the last financial year, the country received $ 8.34 billion foreign investment from Mauritius.
In the last financial year, Mauritius was followed by America ($ 5.45 billion), Netherlands ($ 4.62 billion), United Arab Emirates ($ 3.12 billion), Japan ($ 2.47 billion), Cyprus ($ 1.2 billion), UK ($ 79.5 million), Germany ($ 46.9 million) and Cayman Island ($ 37.1 million).
Experts say that Singapore remains the source of FDI for India due to a strong position, better bilateral relations and a gateway of global private equity and enterprise capital investment as a global financial center.
Deloite India economist Rumki Majumdar said that despite the upheaval and uncertainties over the capital market, India has managed to attract heavy foreign investment, which is stable and long-term.
He said that since Asia is the second largest region to receive foreign capital flows, a large part of the fund comes from Singapore. There are many reasons for this. Singapore’s legal structure is quite strong with being a low tax area, so it is considered a strategic financial gateway for Asia.
Majumdar said that the double taxation rescue treaty between the two countries helps Singapore organizations to invest in India and their total tax burden on earnings from India is also reduced. (Language)
