India keeps shining as new FDI destination

India is clearly shining the bright among emerging market darkness.

After announcement by Foxconn, Apples' largest vendor to invest in India to make it one of its largest manufacturing base, General Motors' chief executive Mary Barra declared to invest $1 billion in India and announced to make the country its export hub. Though it will close down one of its plant, it will significantly expand facilities to increase capacity by 70% over the next decade. According to her, the country will be manufacturing and export hub for the Asia region.

She is also expecting to increase its market share in India, which now stands as 2%.

New reform minded government at the center has clearly changed the tide in favor of India by pursuing critical reform. It has also given, 5% tax reduction for corporates over the course of next four years.

While Government continues to pursue critical reforms, Reserve bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan has kept the INR quite steady which is currently trading at 63.8 against dollar, up 1.3% this year so far.
