New Delhi: With $31 billion of foreign capital inflows, India has surpassed China and the US to take the pole position in attracting largest FDI in the first half of 2015, a report said on Tuesday.

The Finance Ministry forwarded a report published in Financial Times, London, that said "India grabs investment league pole position."

The report said India has attracted $31 billion of FDI in H1 2015, ahead of $28 billion of China and $27 billion of US.

"A ranking of the top destinations for greenfield investment (measured by estimated capital expenditure) in the first half of 2015 shows India at number one, having attracted roughly $3 billion more than China and $4 billion more than the US," the FT report said.

India is tracking well ahead of where it was at this time in 2014: it has more than doubled its midyear investment levels, attracting $30 billion by the end of June 2015 compared with $12 billion in the first half of 2014.

The report said that in 2014 India ranked fifth in terms of capital investment, after China, the US, the UK and Mexico.

"In a year when many major FDI destinations posted declines, India experienced one of 2014's best FDI growth rates, increasing its number of projects by 47 per cent," it said.
