Despite over 73 per cent year-on-year drop in inflows in February, the FDI for the 11-month period of fiscal 2008-09 has aggregated to $25.38 billion against $24.57 billion in the previous fiscal, an official said.
Inflows remained robust in the first half of 2008-09 but with the deepening of international financial crisis, it slowed down.
Though the country would not achieve even the truncated FDI target of $30 billion in 2008-09, it has already seen an inflow expansion in the midst of difficult global environment.
India's cumulative FDI inflows from April 2000 to February 2009 stands close to $88 billion.
