India embarked on a journey of economic reform in 1991 in order to remove the structural and institutional bottlenecks that were plaguing the Indian economy. The objectives of reforms were to achieve higher growth and efficient utilization of resources and thereby redistribution of resources. The reforms introduced in 1991 could be characterized as liberalization, privatization and globalization. Attracting FDI as an addition to existing pool of resources was one of the major objectives of reform. Since 1991, inflow of FDI in India has been rising steadily. The process that begun in 1991, has been constantly reformed in order to achieve the aspiration goals of India. The recent regime in India has reinvigorated economic reforms and thus helped in attracting historic level of FDI inflow. There seems to be a point of break around 2014 which marks that FDI inflow has peaked considerably thereafter.

The role of foreign capital in economic growth has been a burning topic of debate in countries world over including India. It is not possible for a developing country like India to grow without sufficient foreign capital inflow, technology and employment generation. The Indian government has taken many initiatives to attract foreign investment to boost the Indian economy since the liberalization process started in 1991. As a result, India has received Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the tune of US $ 380215 million by the end of June 2015. This study has assessed the growth of employment in public and private sector by the flow of foreign capital, comprising of Foreign Direct Investment, Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI), External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), and NRI Deposits in India during the period 1991 to 2012. The study has also analyzed the trends of employment in public and private sectors of Indian economy. We find that overall foreign capital inflows, except for the FPI and NRI deposits, have a significant positive impact on the growth of private sector employment.
