If we will have a look at the dominant sector, manufacturing sector has played a crucial role. Manufacturing was the highest
contributing sector i.e. 39% where as mining was the least contributing sector that is 1%in 2016-17. In 2012-13, FDI inflow of this
sector was 4793 US $ million (32%), then this sector increased its dominance with 9337 US $ million (40%) in 2013-14. However it
goes down in 2014-15 with 6528 US $ million (36%), again it declined a little in 2015-16 with 6381 US $ million (40%), again it goes
