These investments included 372 acquisitions worth $21 billion by 239 Indian companies and 127 greenfield investments worth $5.5 billion between 2004 and 2009, said the report, How America Benefits from Economic Engagement with India, released on Tuesday by Congressman, Mr Jim McDermott.
The joint study by University of Maryland, India-US World Affairs Institute and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), showed that the 127 greenfield investments where a parent company starts a new venture from the ground up, also created 16,576 jobs.
