Data for the fiscal year 2014-2015 on FDI equity inflows into India shows that the Services sector received the maximum amount of foreign direct investment during this period.
Understanding the distribution of FDI inflows across different sectors of the Indian economy is important for assessing investment patterns and economic priorities.

This sector has consistently been a major recipient of FDI in India over the years. The data cited is based on official statistics released by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India.
