FDI into India has been on a steady upward trend for the last 2 decades. Dismantling of Government controls and a rapidly expanding middle class has fuelled India's GDP growth rate and in the early part of this decade Indian corporates started to look outwards. However, uncertain domestic situations and the financial crisis of 2008 slowed down the inflow of foreign equity into India. The positive election results in early 2009 have led to a stable government removing domestic uncertainties and with more than 6% GDP growth for 2008-2009 has made India one of the few economies that is expected to lead the world out of recession. Our experts provide their perspectives on the opportunities for international investors looking to invest into India and the issues to be considered in M&A transactions.
