Foreign direct investment into India from the tiny island-nation of Mauritius exceeds the inflows from any other country in the world.
Inflows from Mauritius were more than double those from the second biggest investor, the United States, throughout the decade leading up to 2002 and more than quadruple the total over the last 10 months, according to statistics published by the Indian government.
