📄 Abstract
The study evaluates India s GDP in relation to foreign direct investment, exports, and imports over the period 1991 to 2025. The results indicate very strong comovement among the macroeconomic variables, a highly significant positive export coefficient, and a significant conditional negative import coefficient in the fitted model. The statistical framework models GDP as a function of exports and imports within a trade-linked growth setting associated with liberalization and foreign investment driven transformation. The findings show that exports have a strong positive and statistically significant association with GDP, while imports display a statistically significant negative conditional coefficient in the estimated multivariate framework. The model explains the observed movement in GDP extremely well, emphasizing the close relationship between India's growth process and external-sector variables over the reform period.
