PR : Partially Revised.
@	Data for 2002-03 are estimated as average of the previous two years.
* :	Includes Repayment of US dollar 3035 million of Government loans effected in Jan-Mar quarter of 2002-03.

Notes :

Data on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) have been revised since 2000-01 with expanded coverage to approach international best practices. These data, therefore, are not comparable with FDI data for previous years.

The quarterly data on Investment Income, current account balance and components of foreign investment ‘to’ and ‘by’ India do not add up to the annual figures as these data do not include ‘re-invested earnings’ which are compiled on an annual basis.
