Summary: Foreign Direct Investment(FDI)is one of the most crucial indicators in any given economy, more so for developing economies. Over the last thirty years, FDI trends have changed tremendously within India. India, a democratic republic since 1947, sought to follow a “closed economic policy” till the late 1980s. It was in 1991, following the implementation of India’s novel trade liberalization policies,that the country changed its economic outlook. Within the last twenty years, India has seen fluctuations within its economy, especially with regards to foreign investments rolling into the country. What is most noteworthy, is how foreign investor sentiments and speculations revolve a lot around the kind of government that is in power in India. In lieu of this, a close inspection of the kind of governance is crucial, taking into consideration the type of ideology that is key to each party in power. The use of statistical data is purely to analyze the FDI trends during the tenure of each government, thus aiding in the hypothesis of ideology-backed policymaking and its subsequent, real-world impact on the economy as a whole. The three governments that ruled India during the two decade period, namely –the A.B. Vajpayee administration, the Manmohan Singh administration, and, the Narendra Modi administration will all be scrutinized based on the same parameters, that is, based on specific economic policies and ideology-backed policymaking that has helped the economy or damaged it. The study of these ideology-backed policies is key, as they provide an insight into the particular ideology, schools of thought, and, subsequent pragmatic approach taken by the administration in power; which is crucial in the analysis of governance and politics in the sphere of the International Political Economy, within International Relations.
