State Bank of India (SBI) projection cited in a news special report estimates expected foreign investment inflows/raising in the range of about $80–85 billion.

- A forecast range gives a lower and upper bound because outcomes depend on assumptions like policy stance and global market risk appetite.
- SBI links expected foreign investment inflows to anticipated policy and market conditions, so changes in government policy or market sentiment can shift the range.
