India has been the favoured investment destination in Asia, according to a report by Mecklai Financial. India has received inflows worth US$ 11 billion in equities and US$ 4.7 billion in debt investments on a year-to-date basis.
Indian economy outlook was presented as being positive and robust by Zinnov Management Consulting. Both multinationals as well as Indian companies aiming for growth need to focus on the long-term investments in India.
The liberalization and globalization of the economy has led to free inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) along with modern cutting edge technology, which increased the importance of private sector in Indian economy considerably. Private sector in the past few years has witnessed significant increase in terms of investment and its share in Gross Domestic Product.
