Reserve Bank releases Overseas Direct Investment data for September 2026

The Reserve Bank of India has released the data on Overseas Direct Investment for the month of September 2026, covering investment made both under the Automatic Route and under the Approval Route. Overseas Direct Investment is investment made by Indian residents in joint ventures and wholly owned subsidiaries abroad, and the Reserve Bank publishes the figures every month. Under the Automatic Route an Indian party may invest abroad within the prescribed limit without prior approval, while proposals outside those conditions go through the Approval Route and require clearance. The release was issued on 26 October 2026 and signed by Ajit Prasad, Deputy General Manager (Communications), as press release 2026-2027/1389.

Data month: September 2026 Press release number: 2026-2027/1389
Why it matters for exams: The difference between the Automatic Route and the Approval Route, and the fact that the RBI publishes ODI data, are standard Economy questions.
