Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the evolution of FDI in India during the twentieth century. This chapter consists of two main sections, namely (a) studies of different periods, i.e. 1900s–1918, 1919–42, 1943–61, 1962–77, 1978–90, 1991–2000 and (b) major characteristics of FDI in India and the periodization of FDI history in India. By providing a review of the evolution of FDI, this chapter bridges the gap that exists in the current literature on FDI in India. A critical understanding of the history and characteristics of FDI in India also provides a sound background to understanding the context of globalization in India in which the main argument of the book has been placed.
