(a): Data is not maintained centrally for assessing the impact of increased FDI on the employment generation. However, FDI directly supplements the domestic capital and brings technology and skill in the sectors of direct entry. It has indirect multiplier effects on other related sectors also thereby stimulating economic growth leading to increased production, exports and employment generation.

(b): The list of the sectors in which FDI has recorded an increase during each of the last three years and the current year is given at Annexure –I. Further, the details of FDI inflow in all the sectors are also given at Annexure –II. FDI data is not maintained state wise, but RBI regional office wise. FDI equity inflows recorded for a particular regional office of RBI, may cover more than one state. Accordingly, region wise details of FDI equity inflow are at Annexure –III.
