INVESTMENT IN INDIA

NRI investment in India has become highly lucrative due to the country’s strong economic growth, attractive government policies, and diverse investment opportunities. India is projected to grow at around 6.5% GDP growth in 2024, driven by its youthful population and expanding middle class, presenting a robust demand for goods and services. The government's pro-investment policies, such as FDI reforms and the PLI scheme, along with a growing infrastructure push (over $1.4 trillion by 2025), make sectors like manufacturing, real estate, and technology particularly appealing. The real estate sector, especially in cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, offers high capital appreciation, with commercial properties showing 3-4% annual rental yields. In addition, India’s stock market has consistently outperformed, with Sensex crossing 65,000 points in 2024, and mutual funds have generated impressive returns of 12-15% annually in recent years, making it an attractive option for long-term investors.

For NRIs, India offers tailored investment options like NRE and NRO accounts that provide tax-free interest and tax-efficient capital gains. The higher interest rates in India compared to Western markets and the growing tech startup ecosystem (with over 100 unicorns) further fuel the appeal. Moreover, SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) are witnessing record inflows, with INR 13,000 crore/month invested, reflecting the retail investor confidence in India’s growth. Tax advantages, like the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA), also enhance the benefits for NRIs. While the potential for high returns is clear, risks such as regulatory changes, currency fluctuations, and liquidity concerns in real estate require careful planning. Nonetheless, India's growth prospects, coupled with favorable policies, make it a compelling investment destination for NRIs seeking diversification and higher returns.

What Investments Are NRIs Allowed to Make in India?

NRI investments that are repatriable are treated as FDI while non-repatriable investments are considered as domestic investment. Downstream investment is an indirect FDI in which an NRI-owned company incorporated in India subscribes or acquires the shares of another Indian company.

Investment on repatriation basis means the sale or maturity proceeds of an investment, after paying taxes, are eligible to be transferred out of India. In the case of non-repatriation investments, this cannot be transferred out of the country under Foreign Exchange Management Act (Fema)
