India, with greater ease of doing business, may attract many more MNC’s to shift their production base to India, thereby increasing the inflow of foreign exchange (say $) to the Indian economy. This increase in foreign direct investments (FDI) by MNCs will lead to increase in the supply of foreign exchange in India leading to a fall in the rate of foreign exchange, i.e. Indian Rupee (₹) may appreciate. Increase in FDI will result in increase in production and hence may also generate employment opportunities in the Indian economy.
