Abstract

In recent times, the Indian economy has experienced a big surge in portfolio capital inflows by FIIs. While the overall inflows have been high, FII investments across firms have been quite dissimilar. This study is an attempt to explain the inter-firm differences in investments through FIIs in India’s high-tech sectors like automobiles, drugs and pharmaceuticals, IT software and IT hardware including electronics, for the period 2000 to 2004.
