Results of the study found that coefficient value of inward FDI is positive and it is statistically significant at one percent level. At the same time ccoefficient value of outward FDI isnegative and it isnot statistically significant.

The results suggest that there is a significant linear relationship between FDI (Inward and Outward), Trade in goods and Trade in services of India.
