India has received $1.36 billion of foreign direct investment (FDI) in December 2008, a senior commerce ministry official said here today.
The FDI during the nine-month April-December period stood at $21.2 billion, the official added.
The inflow in December 2008 is lower compared to $1.55 billion FDI the country received in the same month in the previous fiscal.
The country has set a target of $35 billion for FDI in the current fiscal.
Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath yesterday said that the country would be able to receive $30 billion inflows only in the current financial year.
"We will be able to go to $30 billion," Nath had told reporters here on the sidelines of a function here.
