Karnataka attracted $13 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) equity inflows in FY26, driven by strong investments in technology, data centres and global capability centres (GCCs). Maharashtra remained the top FDI destination, though it recorded a decline in inflows during the year.
Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab also registered a significant rise in FDI equity inflows, while Telangana saw a decline, according to official data tabled in Parliament on Tuesday. Gujarat retained the third position, with inflows steady at $5.7 billion.
