India's foreign direct investment (FDI) landscape shows a concerning trend as net inflows turned negative for four consecutive months, with December 2025 reporting $1.61 billion in outflows. This shift is driven by a record $7.45 billion repatriated by foreign investors, pressuring the Indian rupee to new lows. Meanwhile, Indian firms increased their outward FDI by 30.5% YoY, totaling $2.74 billion.
This dynamic raises concerns for traders as the capital exit may impact market sentiment and currency stability.
