Abstract: Foreign exchange management is crucial for all developing countries like India. A floating exchange is more dynamic as it would have an unembellished effect on the importers or exporters. Prior studies indicate that FDI has a significant impact on the exchange rate and augment the government initiatives of opening or attracting higher FDI into India. On the other hand, the sectors opened also should provide adequate returns justifying the investment. In this regard, the paper attempts to study the FDI flows in various sectors, their profitability, and the impact of FDI flows on the exchange rate. Various theories augment the fact that a higher inflow of foreign capital would aid in appreciating the rupee. Secondary data sources and seemingly unrelated regression was used to analyse foreign flows and currency appreciation. The automobiles sector was observed a significant effect on the exchange rate. 21 sectors were explored for policy implications.
