New Delhi, May 15 (KNN) India's outward foreign direct investment (FDI) commitments surged to USD 6.8 billion in April 2025, representing a near doubling from the USD 3.58 billion recorded in the same month last year, according to data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

This also marks a sequential increase from March 2025's figure of USD 5.9 billion.

The composition of India's outbound FDI, which is measured as financial commitment, consists of three key components: equity, loans, and guarantees.

Guarantees for overseas units increased to USD 2.98 billion in April 2025, up from USD 2.16 billion in the same month last year and substantially higher than the USD 1.23 billion recorded in March 2025, as per RBI data.
