India's Dollar Economy: Why Did $230 Billion Flee?

India received a lot of money from foreign investors over six years.

The total amount coming in was about $366 billion.

But about $230 billion also left the country through repatriation or disinvestment.

That made the writer question whether India gained much foreign investment overall.

The economy performed very well during the first four years of Narendra Modi’s tenure.

This period lasted until around mid-2018.

Oil prices fell sharply, while the government kept fuel prices from falling by the same amount.

The article also highlights GST, Aadhaar and Jan Dhan accounts as important economic and financial changes.

The excerpt asks why so much money left, but does not yet provide the full answer.
