New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government has expressed satisfaction at two global reports on spurt in FDI and improvement in global competitiveness index, saying that it reflects the success of India's policy initiatives.
Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Secretary Amitabh Kant said that this success has been achieved at the point of time when globally FDI has fallen by about 16 per cent.
"India has seen a huge surge in FDI inflows and this is largely because this government has opened up vast sectors," Kant said.
In a big jump, India has moved up 16 positions to rank 55th on a global index of the world's most competitive economies, where Switzerland remains on top.
Similarly, a Financial Times report has said that with USD 31 billion of foreign capital inflows, India has surpassed China and the US to take the pole position in attracting largest FDI in the first half of 2015.
