NEW DELHI, February 3 – BUSINESS STANDARD – Overseas investments by Indian companies stood at $797 million in January, with Tata Group, infrastructure major IL&FS and pharma major Lupin emerging as major investors. As many as 418 overseas investment transactions were carried out by various companies last month. However, outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) in the month of January was over 45% less than the $1.46 billion figure during December 2011, according to the Reserve Bank data released today. Experts attributed the month-on-month decline to the global economic slowdown and said such variation in monthly outbound FDI is normal. In the first ten months of the current fiscal (April-January), the outward FDIs and FDI commitments reached almost $26.1 billion, according to the RBI data. While Indian companies are expanding overseas footprint, the FDI inflows during the April-November period (latest data available) reached $22.83 billion. In the last fiscal (2010-11) the FDI inflows crossed $19.43 billion. – NEWS TRACK INDIA – Surajkund Crafts Mela 2011, begins on 1st Feb. as every year.
