    Solution

      According to the data provided by the Reserve Bank of India, the equity foreign direct investment (FDI) into India declined sharply to $13.9 billion in April-July 2023 from $22.04 billion a year ago.    The net FDI, inflows minus outflows, declined from $17.28 billion in April-July 2022 to $5.70 billion in April-July 2023 on account of moderating gross FDI and a rise in repatriation.   Gross FDI into India moderated to $22.0 billion during April-July 2023 from $29.6 billion a year ago. Around two-thirds of the FDI equity flows were directed towards manufacturing, financial services, business services, computer services, electricity, and other energy sectors.   Singapore, Japan, the Netherlands, the US, and Mauritius were major source countries, accounting for more than two-thirds of the FDI equity flows during the same period.
