Mumbai may be the business capital of the country, but Delhi is clearly the unanimous choice among foreign companies looking to set up shop in India.
The Capital is home to close to half the 3,138 foreign companies that are operating in the country, according to latest Government data.
Maharashtra comes second, with Mumbai and Pune being the main cities that foreign firms prefer to be located in.
Karnataka, with Bangalore as the information technology capital, and Tamil Nadu, where a bevy of foreign car makers and consumer durable firms have chosen to build facilities, come next.
Boosted by Gurgaon, the satellite hub adjoining Delhi, Haryana figures prominently in the list of States from where foreign countries choose to operate. Uttar Pradesh, mainly riding on Noida, also figures in the top 10.
In fact, the top three States — Delhi, Maharashtra and Karnataka — account for over 80 per cent of foreign companies.
