Why in the news

RBI data showed more FDI leaving than entering in November 2025, hinting at cautious investors.

Key facts

  • Net FDI = Gross inflows – (Repatriation + Disinvestment + Outward FDI).
  • Top recipient sectors: financial services, manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade.
  • Outward FDI goes mainly to Singapore, Mauritius, U.S. and U.K., in manufacturing and financial, insurance and business services (70%+).

Why it matters

  • FDI is long-term; FPI is short-term.
  • Negative net FDI amid steady gross inflows signals repatriation and profit booking.
  • Prolonged outflows can pressure the rupee and current account financing.

Exam angle

  • Data source: RBI.
