Abstract: The current study aims to assess the impact of Make in India on FDI inflows. FDI into India has been on the rise since Make in India. Globalization's influence on employment is a significant worry in the present political and economic context. The government of India has identified twenty-five priority industries for the "Make in India" campaign that would be appropriately provided for. According to the most recent economic survey, foreign direct investment (FDI) in India has increased significantly due to the "Make in India" campaign. As a result, India's investment environment has improved. The Government of India (GoI) has put together an FDI policy framework that is clear, predictable, and easy to understand to attract and encourage FDI. To fulfil the research objectives, the study used a correlational study methodology. The data for this study came from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data was acquired from Indian firms, government officials, and professionals in questionnaires and open interviews. The study used a sample size of 30 contractors, government employees, and specialists. The factors that determine FDI inflows were explored in the study. According to the findings of this study, Make in India has had a beneficial impact on foreign direct investment in India.
