Karnataka received USD 6.62 overseas investments during the last fiscal year, the data showed.
The two states were followed by Delhi (USD 6 billion), Gujarat (USD 5.71 billion), Tamil Nadu (USD 3.68 billion), Haryana (USD 3.14 billion), and Telangana (USD 3 billion).
According to experts, the main reason for the maximum inflows in Maharashtra and Karnataka is substantial improvement in infrastructure.
Infrastructure has improved considerably and that is making them attractive destinations for FDI in India, an economist said.
Total FDI, which includes equity inflows, reinvested earnings and other capital, grew 14 per cent to USD 81.04 billion during the last financial year. It is the highest in the last three years. The same stood at USD 71.3 billion in 2023-24. PTI RR TRB
