Abstract: This paper attempts to examine the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Exports from India during the period from 1990-1991 to 2014-2015. The data has been collected from the various issues of Handbook of Statistics on Indian economy, Reserve Bank of India. It was found that there was no long run co-integrating relationship between FDI inflows and exports from India. Granger causality test was used to find the causal relationship between these variables. The results revealed that there was bi-directional causality between Foreign Direct Investment and exports. This indicates that Foreign Direct Investment might be causing imports which in turn cause exports from India in the post reform period.
