FDI inflows in information and broadcasting sector India FY 2012-2021
India saw an inflow of around 940 million U.S. dollars from foreign direct investments into its information and broadcasting sector for the financial year 2021. Fiscal year 2017 saw the highest FDI inflow in the sector valued at 1.52 billion dollars. The main reason for this spike in fiscal year 2017 was due to two major mergers and acquisition deals of PVR Cinemas Ltd. and Dish TV respectively. Despite the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the FDI-inflow had been stable in financial year 2020 and 2021.
