In 1995-96, foreign direct investment inflow to India was ₹5,000 crore. By 2000-01 it increased to ₹15,000 crore. Calculate the percentage increase in FDI over this period.

Step-by-step solution

1. Subtract the initial value from the final value: $15,000-5,000=10,000$ crore.
2. Divide the increase by the initial value: $10,000÷5,000=2$.
3. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage: $2\times 100=200$%.
4. Thus the FDI inflow increased by 200%.
